The reason why I insist on not putting this into --amend is that I 
think this is not really an amend, but actively a rewrite of the 
merge commit.

You have a point here. I'm convinced. Scrap the patch.

I am slow today.  Since when --amend is not about "a rewrite of commit"?

Technically, you are right, of course.  Commit objects are immutable.  But 
from a _porcelain_ view I maintain that "amending" is about changes _to_ a 
commit.  It is not about redefining the (a) parent.
