If your a complete newbie at git and your just making minor changes for a 
new package, I would probably suggest just using:

> git commit --amend 

 After each change. 

But, to answer your question about "squashing" some commits, You may want 
to try:

> git log

 
To find the hash of the "New package: newpkg" commit. We'll say it's 
'1234567...' (usually you just need the first 7 characters)

> git reset 1234567

 
That will reset 'HEAD', Then:

> git add srcpkgs/newpkg/

git commit --amend
