[2/2] seems to add "--fixup-all" but I agree with the "related idea"
that naming it and modelling it after "merge --squash" would be
easier to understand.

I also wonder if we can do something like this without adding any
new option or command.  E.g., if you have four patch series, where
the initial implementation HEAD~3 is followed by "oops it was still
wrong" fix-up HEAD~2, HEAD~1 and HEAD, then

    git reset --soft HEAD~3 && git commit --amend --no-edit

is what the user wants to do, no?
