[PATCH] builtin-commit: remove .git/SQUASH_MSG upon successful commit

From

<20080208095358.25666.qmail@b4daf7aef4dba9.315fe32.mid.smarden.org>

After doing a merge --squash, and commit afterwards, the commit message template SQUASH_MSG in the git directory is not removed, which means that the content of SQUASH_MSG is used as default commit message for all subsequent commits. So have git commit remove the file SQUASH_MSG from the git directory upon a successful commit.

The problem was discovered by Fr�d�ric Bri�re, reported through
 http://bugs.debian.org/464656
