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?

How about 'a' for an immediate [a]mend?

git commit --amend lets you amend the modifications in addition to the 
message, so I think it would be too ambiguous.

FWIW I planned to split my rebase-i-p patch series into two parts: the 
first part adding a few commands, and the second part actually making it 
possible to rebase interactively _and_ preserving merges.  (So far, if you 
used -p, you better did not reorder or delete any lines.)

However, this will have to wait until after Easter.
