title: How to squash merge multiple commits from branch to master in a single commit using SmartGIT?
body: <p>I have a branch called <strong>work_in_progress</strong> which is used to debug and test code with many small commits. All of them have redundant commit messages.
  When I'm finished I want to merge squash to <strong>master</strong> branch. Usually this is one single command when merging using the <strong>--squash</strong> parameter.</p>
  
  <p>But how do I do it with <strong>SmartGIT</strong>?</p>
  
  <p>The documentation here <a href="http://www.syntevo.com/doc/display/SG/How+to+perform+squash+merges" rel="nofollow noreferrer">How to perform squash merges</a> seems to be wrong because there is no option <em>"Branch consisting of selected commit and its ancestors"</em>.</p>
  
  <p>The documentation here <a href="http://www.syntevo.com/doc/display/SG/How+to+perform+normal+merges+and+squash+merges" rel="nofollow noreferrer">How to perform normal merges and squash merges</a> simply does not work. I have tried it and I still see all the small commits in the log. I can delete the <strong>work_in_progress</strong> branch afterwards, all fine, but I want a single commit with a single commit message in the history of the <strong>master</strong> branch.</p>

  <p><strong>Edit</strong>: Here is a screenshot from my commit dialog. I guess I'm missing the "Simple commit" option?! Maybe I don't understand the instructions^^

  <p><strong>Edit 2</strong>: Here is a screenshot of the Log. The second commit from the top was done using SmartGIT. You can see that all the intermediate commits (including the messages) are visible in the history. The branch was called XYZ_work_in_progress. The last (top most) commit was done using "git merge --squash ABC_work_in_progress" but all the commits are swallowed so it's a clean history. All the work from the branch is accumulated into a single commit with a single message :-)
