It only needs the '%s' for the autosquash when the todo/instruction list order is determined. For this, in the rearrange_squash function, it will re-calculate the message: + test -z "${format}" || message=$(git log -n 1 --format="%s" ${sha1}) Additionally, it may also rerun the log command when preparing the final list. It is possible that this could be made more efficient by separating the list arrangement from the list presentation. I can look into that for a future patch. I did add a test which uses the instructionFormat config, and then interactively auto-squashes using both a 'squash! <sha1>' and a 'squash! <comment>'. in the commits.
