yw!

I'm focusing on the squash --commit part only. I think I'm close to
getting the desired result and now I'm taking a close look at the unit
tests and a question came up on two tests of t7600-merge.sh:

merge c0 with c1 (squash)
merge c0 with c1 (squash, ff-only)

In both cases it's a FF (right?) so no new revision is created. The
unit tests are requiring that $GIT_DIR/squash_msg have some content:

not ok 20 - merge c0 with c1 (squash, ff-only)
#
#               git reset --hard c0 &&
#               git merge --squash --ff-only c1 &&
#               verify_merge file result.1 &&
#               verify_head $c0 &&
#               verify_no_mergehead &&
#               test_cmp squash.1 .git/SQUASH_MSG


not ok 18 - merge c0 with c1 (squash)
#
#               git reset --hard c0 &&
#               git merge --squash c1 &&
#               verify_merge file result.1 &&
#               verify_head $c0 &&
#               verify_no_mergehead &&
#               test_cmp squash.1 .git/SQUASH_MSG


Does it make sense to keep this file in those two situations?
