Re: [PATCH] Force new line at end of commit message

If I read this correctly (haven't tested), then _all_ empty lines are 
removed from the SQUASH_MSG, right?  This is not what I want.

That is no what I wanted either.

"1d" removes the "# This is a combination of <$n> commits." from
the previous round, "2,/^./{ ... }" says apply what's in {} to
lines from second line to the first non-empty line, and what's
in {} is to remove empty ones.

Unfortunately, I am unable to provide a proper patch with proper testing 
right now,...

That's Ok.  Seeing what the patch already in front of you does
would be less time consuming.
