Is it correct to single out only "edit" for special treatment? If allowing "edit" on the command-line, then shouldn't command-line "reword" also be supported? I, for one, often need to reword a commit message (or two or three); far more frequently than I need to edit a commit.

(This is a genuine question about perceived favoritism of "edit", as opposed to a request to further bloat the interface.)
