Should you detect an error?  Does your code do so?  Do you have a test
that catches this error?

It works as intended.  Both together.

That does not make any sense.  If you are saying this is yours and it is
his at the same time, there can be no sane way to work "as intended", no?.

I am adding a new option not changing the option --author already in
git.  So it does work together.

What editor is reading this "Changed"?

Nobody cares...  Just a text to change the file.

I actually care.  Who uses that Changed string, and where does it end up
with?  At the end of the log message?  At the beginning?  What "file"?

I didn't get it.  -c option does not accept -m option and starts an
editor to change the message.  The text "Changed is just a forced
message.  I can not use an editor in interactive mode in a script...
What I am losing here??
