These options make it convenient to construct commit messages for use
with 'rebase --autosquash'.  The resulting commit message will be
"fixup! ..." or "squash! ..." where "..." is the subject line of the
specified commit message.

Example usage:
  $ git commit --fixup HEAD~2
  $ git commit --squash HEAD~5

So far I've been using an alias for these, but I suppose making them
real features of git could be worthwhile. What are the benefits with
this approach vs. an alias?

  

I keep wanting to do these at commit time.

What are the alternative aliases?
