Subject: [PATCH] commit: do not lose SQUASH_MSG contents
Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2016 19:39:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <56E5B3F9.6070404@cs-ware.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <xmqqziu7h01f.fsf@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com>

When concluding a conflicted "git merge --squash", the command
failed to read SQUASH_MSG that was prepared by "git merge", and
showed only the "# Conflicts:" list of conflicted paths.

Place the contents from SQUASH_MSG at the beginning, just like we
show the commit log skeleton first when concluding a normal merge,
and then show the "# Conflicts:" list, to help the user write the
log message for the resulting commit.
