And could we rename the *-m* flag at the same time? Because I often catch myself typing git commit -m "Some_commit_message"
Sure, what's the alternative spelling for the current -m, though? Would -c be OK for commit?

How about using long names?
git commit --reuse-message <sha1>
looks a lot more intuitively understandable to me than something like "-c"
Most of us don't use 300bps terminals any more, so typing a few extra
characters is probably ok.
Now, to make things be backwards-compatible, it should be easy enough to
notice
"Oh, the argument to '-m' is just a single SHA1, let's see if it's a
commit, and turn '-m' into '--reuse-message' automatically"
If anybody cares. Does cogito already use "-m"?
