Are you aware of 'git revise', I wonder?

https://github.com/mystor/git-revise

In particular, its

 git revise --interactive --edit

feature helps a lot in massive editing of commit messages. It creates single file with all the commit messages (similar to todo list), and then applies all the changes you make to the file as it revises particular commits. Very handy.

It'd be nice to have something like this in the mainstream Git.

BTW, it has commit split feature as well, though I didn't use it myself.

Thanks, -- Sergey Organov
