Unfortunately, the implementation is not the problem, but picking the best name. The first letter "m" will be taken in a short while by the "merge" command for "rebase -i -p", so "message" is out, sadly.

But the "rephrase" command will be part of the "rebase -i -p" series when I will finally be able to submit it.

Ciao, Dscho
