I use git in a workflow in wich we often need to edit the message logs
of some commits. The way we do it is using git rebase -i and choose
edit.  But then you need to do git commit --amend and git rebase
--continue, which is error prone and add more useless steps.

The attached patch add a new keyword to git rebase interactive to just
edit the message log.

I was told on IRC that this has been discussed already not so long ago,
and looking on the archive[1], all i seen was bikesheeding .  Here is a
patch :-)

Unfortunately, the implementation is not the problem, but picking the best
name.  The first letter "m" will be taken in a short while by the "merge"
command for "rebase -i -p", so "message" is out, sadly.

But the "rephrase" command will be part of the "rebase -i -p" series when
I will finally be able to submit it.

Hi,
Sorry I'm late to reply :-)

I still think this feature to edit the message in git rebase -i is really 
usefull.  So 'm' is really taken, what about 'r' for 'rephrase'?

or maybe 'rephrase' is something different?
