Create a new commit object that has the same tree and commit message as HEAD

object id of this commit is printed and the program exits

I've been wishing for something like this for a long time.  I used to
fake it using "cat-file commit", sed, and "hash-object -w" when
stitching together poorly imported history using "git replace".

Thanks for writing it.

Ciao,

The scriptq is simple enough, and from a cursory look, it may be
fine to throw it in contrib/ after some minor style fixes and such,
if many find it useful.
