I do not really care as long as there is a nice way to edit the complete note interactively.

Of course, I _do_ expect people to get confused just like they do with the current inconsistencies: "git commit -m" does not really append, but set the commit message, even if you amend a commit.

So maybe you want to use a different command line option for that.

Ciao, Dscho
