Re: [PATCH 0/3] commit: add an option to reword the last commit

"Phillip Wood via GitGitGadget" [off-list ref] writes:

If one notices a typo in the last commit after starting to stage changes for
the next commit it is useful to be able to reword the last commit without
changing its contents. Currently the way to do that is by specifying --amend
--only with no pathspec which is not that obvious to new users (so much so
that before beb635ca9c ("commit: remove 'Clever' message for --only
--amend", 2016-12-09) commit printed a message to congratulate the user on
figuring out how to do it).

;-)

"git commit --only --amend" could already be read as an instruction
that "I am only amending without changing anything else", but I
agree that the new --reword verb is a good addition.

The only comment I had on the series was that the mutual-exclusivity
logic looked a bit fragile against feature evolution of the command,
but I have no concrete suggestion to make it more robust against
time.
