This is cute, I somehow doubt any sane person would prefer doing the above
over running "git commit" and fixing it up with the editor for a single
commit.

It is completely a different matter if the above were in a loop that
munges many commits, though.  But if that is the case, the example should
probably illustrate that loop as well.
