Improve commit linting when commit squashing is enabled
What does this MR do?
When commit squashing is enabled on a merge request, only the first multiline commit is relevant. Indeed, according to https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/squash_and_merge.html:
The squashed commit’s commit message will be either:
- Taken from the first multi-line commit message in the merge.
- The merge request’s title if no multi-line commit message is found.
In that case, there is no need to enforce commit standards on any other commit. This will save time and prevent pipelines from failing unnecessarily. Non exhaustive examples of linters not relevant for squashed commits:
The commit subject must start with a capital letter
The commit subject must not end with a period
Commits that change 30 or more lines across at least three files must describe these changes in the commit body
The commit subject must contain at least three words
This MR changes the linting to only happen on the first multiline commit if it exists.
