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.

Okay, so it removes only the empty lines between the first line and the 
next non-empty line.

But if I understood the OP correctly, the problem was a missing newline at 
the end of the commit message, no?

Thanks,
