Of all the suggestions, I like this one the most. Also, when placed like this, I am suddenly no longer opposed to the word "halt".

I do not think that "amend" is the best word for editing only the commit message. A "commit --amend" can also make a new tree, so reusing the word with a different meaning could be bad.
As for alternatives, however, I can only come up with "copyedit", and that is so horrible that I will not even propose it :-)
Cheers, Anders.
