With what is in the 'master' branch, you do not have to say
interactive when you do not want to go interactive.  I.e.

    $ git rebase --autosquash HEAD~15

should work fine.  Building Git from the source should not be too
hard.

By the way, make it a habit to pass non-option argument after dashed
options.  It is easier for your readers to understand your command
line that way.

Thanks.
