You cannot start with a squash. You have to pick the first one, then
squash the second into the first.

It may be careless enough to do that, however, it might now have modified
the *wrong* commit, i.e. squashed the two patches *into HEAD~2*.

Please verify that your HEAD~2 is still intact and part of the rebased
history, otherwise you will have a problem.
