Merge #13488: Docs: Improve readability of "Squashing commits"

42c499614a Docs: Improve readability of "Squashing commits" (wodry)

Pull request description:

  It was not easy to read the comment lines for me because I was not sure whether the sentence ended with the line or not ("pull set commits"?).
  Therefore, dots had been invented and I have added them to signal the end of a sentence. Also begin New sentence with a capital letter.

  I guess, not all 'pick' words should be replaced by 'squash'? At least I found [this DO](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-rebase-and-update-a-pull-request) rebase/squash documentation helpful, where is written that the first line should not be changed.
