It is true that we do not make a commit when we are asked to do "merge --squash", and the code does so by setting option_commit variable to zero when seeing the squash option. But this made it impossible to see from the value of option_commit if --no-commit was given from the command line, or --squash turned it off. We check for the value of option_commit at only two places. Check for the value of squash at them, too.
