commit: allow --amend to reuse message from another commit
After tentatively applying a patch from a contributor, you can get a replacement patch with corrected code and unusable commit log message. In such a case, this sequence ought to give you an editor based on the message in the earlier commit, to let you describe an incremental improvement: git reset --hard HEAD^ ;# discard the earlier one git am <corrected-patch git commit --amend -c HEAD@{1} Unfortunately, --amend insisted reusing the message from the commit being amended, ignoring the -c option. This corrects it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
