If you add an 'amend' one instead make it drop you into an editor to change the commit message. That's a workflow I often use. Often times I do not have a proper commit message when I commit (sometimes it is the result of "git commit -a -m "tmp"). To me having an 'amend' command that allows one to edit the commit message would make sense a lot :). > "edit" == "amend", but is deprecated and goes away in the future And as such, have edit do what it currently does. -- Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier
