squashed commit messages handled different w/ and w/o conflicts

Hi,

I was merging in a branch today and saw a (for me) unclear behavior.
So, what I did was:

git checkout master
git merge --squash _MY_BRANCH_

At this point I had a conflict. After fixing it I wanted to commit my
current state.

git add _CONFLICTED_FILE_
git commit

What happens now is that the squashed commit logs are replaced with the
Conflict
    some/file/with/a/path
message.

Just to be sure I created a test repo and merged in a branch with the
--squash option. For this test I made sure no conflict would pop up.
After committing the merged state, as expected, every commit message
of the branch was set as the current commit message.

I was expecting the conflict message to be pushed to the front of the
squashed commit messages.
