The reason we're introducing the history command is to experiment with providing a better user interface for rewriting history without being bound by the limitations of "git rebase". So I think it would entirely appropriate to try a different format for the squash message here. If it turns out to be a success then we can see if we want to use it in "git rebase" as well.

Thanks
