Subject: Dead-end Situation created by amending a merge commit in a topic branch
Message-ID: <AS4P195MB1527956C72FD0407FF4C488EE2279@AS4P195MB1527.EURP195.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM>

It looks like it's possible to reach an unresolvable dead-end situation by amending a merge commit.

For a use-case see this issue at Stack Overflow:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74032523/how-can-i-rebase-this-git-branch-on-master/74064773

Is this situation desired?

Shouldn't git rather emit an error message when trying to amend a merge commit?
