Thank you for filling out a Git bug report!
Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.
What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
1. Initialize a git repo with `git init`
2. Install a custom `prepare-commit-msg` hook that injects some comments
- Intention: inject the output of `git log --oneline -n10` during
interactive commit, so I can see past commits
3. Run `git config commit.cleanup strip`
- Intention: strip the injected comments too in non-interactive mode
(e.g. `git cherry-pick` & `git rebase`)
4. Run `touch foo && git add -A && git commit -m "Initial commit"`
5. Run `touch bar && git add -A && git commit --fixup=@`
6. Run `git rebase --root --autosquash`
What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
Git would perform the autosquash, while keeping the commit message of
the squash target unchanged.
What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
Git performed the autosquash, but the commit message of the squash
target is now clobbered with my injected comments.
What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
I expected commit cleanup to happen during the autosquash. It seems
like that didn't happen.
Anything else you want to add:
Here is my `prepare-commit-msg` script. But I expect this issue to be
replicable with anything that injects comments.
```
#!/usr/bin/env bash
{
echo '# Last 10 commits:'
git log --oneline -n 10 --decorate=short | sed 's/^/# /'
echo '#'
} >> "$1"
```
