Two new suggestions:

"reset authorship and timestamp to you (-C-c/--amend)"
        # On this case "you" can be changed to "commiter" but the text
is going to be bigger
        # and wrap.

"make me new author with new timestamp (-C-c/--amend)"

I am just waiting for your answers to this e-mail and to the previous
one so I can send you another patch.
