Can we make "amend" like squash, except that it keeps the first 
commit's authorship instead of the second?  I often merge a commit 
with some minor fix that comes later, and usually want to keep the 
original author record.

Thinking about this again... Maybe it is a better semantics anyway? What 
do others think?

I never thought about whose commit the squashed ones become
before this thread, but making squash quack as if "commit
--amend" was done after running "cherry-pick -n" the second and
later ones feels like the most natural semantics to me.
