I found this thread from January 2009:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/105738

Having read the thread, I agree that "amend" would be misleading.

There were several suggestions for alternate command names
in that thread, for example:

"msg", "msgedit", "message", "reword", "rephrase"

It think that "msgedit" was suggested by several people. ("editmsg"
was also suggested, but it is not possible as the abbreviation "e" would
become ambiguous.)

Would the patch have a chance to be accepted if I renamed
the new command to "msgedit"?
