While `fixup! ` is fine, `squash! ` means that the commit message needs
tweaking, which cannot be done automatically during merging (i.e. it
should be done by the PR author).
Previously, `validate-commit-message` would always allow
`squash! `-prefixed commits, which would cause problems during merging.
This commit changes `validate-commit-message` to make it configurable
whether such commits are allowed and configures the
`gulp validate-commit-message` task, which is run as part of the `lint`
job on CI, to not allow them.
NOTE: This new check is disabled in the pre-commit git hook that is used
to validate commit messages, because these commits might still be
useful during development.
PR Close#32023
Previously, the `validate-commit-message` gulp task was using the
`git log ... ^r1 r2` syntax to list commits between the base branch and
the current head. This didn't work as expected on Windows, because `^`
is the escape character. As a result, the command was equivalent to
`git log ... r1 r2` on Windows, which essentially logs all commits
reachable from either `r1` or `r2`.
This commit fixes it by switching to git's
[double-dot range notation][1] (`r1..r2`), which is an alias for the
`^r1 r2` syntax and works correctly on all platforms.
