It won't match if you put it in the subject line, but John's proposal is
to put it at the bottom (i.e. in the body). This won't disturb "git
rebase --autosquash".

I wish I could write commit messages like

fixup! deadbeef: fix typo (foo -> bar)

So that the commit message contains both the instruction for "rebase
--autosquash" and a quick explanation of what the commit is doing (as
usual commit messages).

AFAIK, it's not possible currently but shouldn't be hard to implement.
