can u add a release note (under bug fixes) and squash down the commits 

thxs
 How would I edit the docs?

also, to squash down the commits do you simply use rebase -i?

 Jeff, 
Thanks for the help.  I had an issue for the extra commit from master.  I will issue a new pull request with one commit. 
 in the future you can just rebase that away

git rebase -I origin/master

then just delete the offending commits
 Thanks.  This was really helpful.    It will be much easier for me next
time.
