Hi Junio,

After going through autosquash option for rebase, i was wondering if there is a way to create a new commit easily for autosquash.

For autosquash to work, we need to keep the same commit log/title, prefixed with squash! or Fixup! etc. What about adding another option in commit amend which adds squash! or Fixup! automatically. So, manual intervention at all. :)

I don't know if it already exist.
