I have to admit that I wished to see something like this for more than
once.  It would have been nicer if the patch went one step further and did
"squash the patch, but use the log message from the commit that is
squashed into, without even asking for a consolidated message", but I
think it is a reasonable start.

But as Dscho already objected to, this is a new feature that is
potentially dangerous --- there is a risk of matching a commit that was
not intended for squashing, albeit small.  We may want an explicit option
to enable it.  On the other hand, you may be able to argue that use of
"interactive" rebase is already a sign that the user is likely to want
such a convenience, though.

I guess we could even loosen this "must match the leading substring
exactly" restriction if we can expose Dscho's Levenstein to Porcelain
writers.

Do you really want to break here?  What happens if I have more than one
fixup patches to the same commit?

These tests want to be stringed together with && to catch possible
breakages during the setup.  The same for the real test below.

Not just count, but you would want to make sure that the rewritten "first
commit" now has the desired tree ("1" instead of "0" in file1, if I am
reading the test correctly).
