If this is just for double --amend typos I don't see the need. What you intended is just one "git rebase -i HEAD^^" away.

Notice that in Shawn's original example the guy actually passed -a too, so he would not even have the problem of overwriting the index due to -a.

If you have bouncy fingers, you can just make an alias
    ammend-fix = git reset --soft HEAD^ && git gui citool
