I'd like to have a git commit option which is the opposite of --edit, to use the selected commit message as is, without invoking any editor.
Main use case I see would be
git commit --amend --no-edit
(say you fix a typo in the previous commit which doesn't affect the commit message). Today, one can get the same effect more clumsily as
EDITOR=touch git commit --amend
Or maybe as
git commit --amend -C HEAD
But I'd really prefer a --no-edit option over those alternatives. And it might be useful also in combination with other options, e.g., it would make the -C option equivalent to -c --no-edit, if I understand it correctly.
