When concluding a conflicted "git merge --squash", the command failed to read SQUASH_MSG that was prepared by "git merge", and showed only the "# Conflicts:" list of conflicted paths. Place the contents from SQUASH_MSG at the beginning, just like we show the commit log skeleton first when concluding a normal merge, and then show the "# Conflicts:" list, to help the user write the log message for the resulting commit.
