Re: [PATCH] commit: do not lose SQUASH_MSG contents

> When concluding a conflicted "git merge --squash", the command
> failed to read SQUASH_MSG that was prepared by "git merge", and
> showed only the "# Conflicts:" list of conflicted paths.
>
> Place the contents from SQUASH_MSG at the beginning, just like we
> show the commit log skeleton first when concluding a normal merge,
> and then show the "# Conflicts:" list, to help the user write the
> log message for the resulting commit.
