  Well, edit would have been better, but it's taken already. 'message'
has m as a shortcut, already taken by merge, so 'comment' felt like the
best I could come up with.
  To be fair, if someone has a better name, I'm all for it. I quite care
about the feature, edit needs me to run the --amend myself, whereas I
often just want to fix a typo in a commit log.

  I'm surprised because I used it this way, but maybe it was on the
machine where my git editor is gvim and not vim …
