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.)
