When you are not absolutely sure if the amend is a good thing to do.

Then

	work work work
        git commit --fixup HEAD
	work work work
        git commit --fixup HEAD^
	work work work
        git commit --fixup HEAD^^
	...
	git rebase --autosquash -i ...

may become a good way to polish a single commit.
