git commit --amend lets you amend the modifications in addition to the 
message, so I think it would be too ambiguous.

FWIW I planned to split my rebase-i-p patch series into two parts: the 
first part adding a few commands, and the second part actually making it 
possible to rebase interactively _and_ preserving merges.  (So far, if you 
used -p, you better did not reorder or delete any lines.)

However, this will have to wait until after Easter.
