I just realized how often I type "git ci --amend". Looking back at my
~/.bash_history (only 10k lines) this is the second most often git
command I type which may justify a short option for it (assuming that
other people use this option often too, of course).

The short option space for 'git commit' is really crowded with
acCeFhimnopqsStuvz already taken. So it could be '-M' or '-A' but I'd
prefer not to hold shift, so I chose '-j' even though it's not
strictly related to "amend" (or perhaps we can thinking of amending as
joining commits).

Thoughts?

I also used to type it a lot. So I did:

  $ type a
  a is aliased to `git commit --amend'

I don't know if that argues for or against a short option.

It's a "for" for me because I won't have my aliases on other people's machines.
