Docs feedback - feature proposal: Squash Merge Policy

Problem to solve

Squash Merge Policy

In TFS (Azure DevOps) it's possible to set a policy that means that a repository's merge (pull) requests are always squashed and deleted. The fields are ticked by default and possibly disabled (if I remember well).

Introducing a similar feature will mitigate against the accidental creation and completion of a PR without having squashed it.

Intended users
