Don't squash. If you insist on it, I can't imagine why you wouldn't squash the commit messages

You're not supposed to change commit messages.

The correct lines to blame are the ones right there, not exactly rocket science

If your git squash contains all the commit messages, it’s a pain to figure out which commit message refers to which line of code.

A comment goes right there. No tools needed. Mutable. Readable. Contextually in place. And you can even add comments while coding without waiting for the commit.

Is typing // really so much effort?

No it's not and neither is writing a proper commit message. That's why you do both, but most of it goes in the commit. Like in the Git project
