[osee-dev] Deleted git commits

Dear OSEE developers,

This is DongGyun, PhD student at the department of computer science at University College London.
Recently, I am conducting research about code review process in open source project.
I’ve found interesting practice while inspecting Eclipse gerrit code review.
Several issues are flagged as MERGED while all commits are deleted in the git repository.
For example, the below issue is labeled as MERGED, but I could not locate the current commit in git repository:

[handk@handk org.eclipse.osee]$ git show 440ae2f5061c1c68e5e0ba8ab67bb54f3ec7410d
fatal: bad object 440ae2f5061c1c68e5e0ba8ab67bb54f3ec7410d

I found 876 cases as above in OSEE project.
(issue number #10071, #10072, #10110, #10175, #10176, #10220, #10264,… )
Is there any special reason that you delete the commits in Git repository which are labeled as MERGED in Gerrit?
Many thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
DongGyun
