Yes, but the original wording didn't make me think that.

Yeah, it is very plausible that it is not limited to you, and I
agree that it is worthwhile to update the description around here.

Also, does 'earliest commit requiring fixup/squash' fully convey that
its the one to fix.

I cannot tell if that a question or a statement?

It's a question. In your prior para you offer "they fix the very first
commit that invited these fixups" as an alternate.

I think both are equally understandable to me (but I am not the
primary target audience).

It's when a users mental model is that they got their first fixup
wrong and it's that fixup they are correcting, and later they add
different fixups to the orignal that it all gets hairy.
(diffs must have the right sequence, while snapshots don't care - so
if we keep the diff sequence, we don't care about the user's mental
model as the end results are the same).

The writeup needs to cope with the mental model rather than the end result.

Yes, yes.
