I've found 

$ GIT_EDITOR=cat git commit --amend

The benefit of this technique is that it even works for git-rebase -i.

In my typical git usage, I do a lot of git-commit --fixup's.  After
reaching a level of stability, I change the history with:

GIT_EDITOR=cat git rebase -i --autosquash

and my history is adjusted without requiring manual intervention.

Hi Junio,

After going through autosquash option for rebase, i was wondering
if there is a way to create a new commit easily for autosquash.

For autosquash to work, we need to keep the same commit log/title,
prefixed with squash! or Fixup! etc. What about adding another option
in commit amend which adds squash! or Fixup! automatically. So, manual
intervention at all. :)

I don't know if it already exist.
