Fellow committers,

When hitting that squash-merge button in GitHub UI, the first line of the
dialog for the commit message is set apart from the rest of the message.
Then it's followed by a multi-line text box for the remaining lines.  The
beginning line of the rest of the message is often duplicated or
effectively redundant with that first title line.  Please edit your message
so that the redundancy is gone because the whole thing winds up in the
commit message, which is ultimately rather untidy/unclean.

Most commits are fine.  Here are some examples of the problem I speak of by
3 separate individuals:
