Allow merge --squash on releases

[heinrichWeichert]

It would be nice to allow merge --squash on releases, too. Sometimes, feature branches contain more than one commit, and I don't want to have such a big commit history on my main branch.
(I know, I could squash develop beforehand, but nevertheless, this would be nice for the differing commits between release/main).

Squashing commits in the release branch?

[heinrichWeichert]

For example in Bitbucket, there is the option to squash on merge, squashing all commits and not creating a merge commit.
I think it would be useful to first squash all commits on the release branch and then merge.
