I doubt it would make practical difference, but one thing I notice
is that unlike "git rebase -i", this one does not intersperse
markers like "# This is the 1st commit message" in between the
messages taken from the squashed commits, so it is not exactly
"mirroring".

I wouldn't mind extracting that logic from 'rebase -i' to show it
here. It would be nice to have.

If we can share more code (not necessarily the exact existing
code---after cleaning it up if needed is perfectly fine and may even
be better) across codebaes that would be excellent.  Thanks.

After looking at what Phillip said in a side thread (look for "So
instead of ... We'd have") [*], I retract my "I doubt it would make
practical difference".  Without boundary that shows where each
message begins, the result is much harder to look at.
