"The cloned commit" is a bit misleading; in the mind of users --amend does not clone but rewrite, as the old commit usually only belongs to a reflog and not any other branch. I'd rewrite it this way, perhaps. When used with -C/-c/--amend options, declare that the authorship of the resulting commit now belongs of the committer. This also renews the author timestamp. We also would need a test to protect this new feature from getting broken by future updates.
