How about:

# If you remove a line here, THAT COMMIT WILL BE LOST.

That may be too far from the "edit" line, although I do like the idea
of mentionning other uses than "amend".

Eric Raible suggested:

How about:

#  e [<commit>], edit [<commit>] = use commit (if present) but pause to amend

Other commands do not mention commit (or other things) as a synopsis would.
What about:

#  e, edit = use commit (if specified) but pause to amend/examine/test
