What is the effect on the Appveyor builds when this is done?

1. I have many small commits in a branch "deploy-windows" and would like to squash them into one commit. It should reduce the number of appveyor builds, but will it?

2. Or I could just create a new branch from "deploy-windows" and then delete "deploy-windows". Would that be ok?

   Are you currently using skip directive in the commit messages?

   That is helpful to know, I needed appveyor to determine how appveyor worked and didnt with the changes.

   I think what I will do is git checkout -b [new branch] from the subject branch. Then squash it locally and push to remote.

   Then turn on appveyor for that new branch and turn off for the old branch.
   Then I can delete the old remote and local branch.
