Hi,

for frontends or scripts it would be helpful to be able to use "git status" for getting the repository status compared to HEAD~1 instead of only HEAD (as provided by "git commit --amend" in the pre-filled commit message).

Thus, I'm suggesting to add a "--amend" parameter (or a parameter with a better naming) to "git status".

What do you think of this idea?
