What if you used  commit --append  instead?

The trouble though of squashing all the commits into one is that it makes it impossible to bisect later. Are you really sure that your final commit cannot be broken into small commits? Ideally each commit is small but self contained. Squashing should be done only to fix cases where you introduced a bug then fixed it, or to fix a partial implementation etc.
