I ran `git commit -ammend` on a repo where 1 out of 3 files changed were staged for commit.

I would've expected an error to be thrown due to the double typo but instead it committed all 3 files with the message 'mend'.

So it looks like it interpreted it as `git commit -a -m 'mend'`.
I'm running git 1.8.3.4 using iTerm 1.0.0 on OSX 10.9.
