Beware, though. I don't have my Git reference to hand, but I've noted that if the file is in the index, it is tracked [...] Really? Sounds a bit strange. I feel like tracked files are committed files, and that staged files are about-to-be-tracked files so in a sort of a transient state. But

So, it appears to be impossible to set or change the log message in any way when doing git merge --squash. I've tried all of these, at least: * --log * --no-log * --log=0 * -m foo No matter what options I provide the squash merge commit message always appears as the
