Someone said, that default '-a' does not go well with 'git-commit --amend',
and I second that. It was somewhat suprising to see that 'git commit --amend'
is going to include all of the dirty state into the commit,
and since there is no easy way to abort a --amend commit (because the comment
buffer wasn't empty, and :q! does not work as it would on the regular commit),
I had to untwine the changes manually.

By the way, I think that git-commit should also watch the return code
from the editor, so you can ^C it to abort git-commit --amend.

For those using emacsclient, I don't think ^C will work.  Is there
another way to undu an ammend commit?  If not, is there any sense in

Uncomment to abort commit would be more intuitive.

You can ^C the git-commit invocation.

And I guess ORIG_HEAD would help, and reflog certainly would help
reverting (undoing) amend of a commit.
