I meant "rebase -i", sorry. And in fact I mostly mean those cases where
I want to "amend" a commit which is not the top most one.

I also see myself getting tempted to say "rebase -i -2" every once in a
while; it seems to go well with "log -2" especially when the history is
linear.

I like that. As easy to type (or more, depending on the keyboard) as ~2,
but no nasty interaction with the shell. OTOH, that would be a
special-case for rebase only (i.e. doesn't make "git show HEAD~2" easier
to type), but that's the most common case.
