In general, I prefer nothing to be *interactive*, so I would vote an
emphatic no.
Also, try "tig" and see if you can customise it. For example, in
order to create a new commit that is meant to be a fixup of some other
commit, I 'git add' what is needed (either command line or tig again)
then hit "m" to the main window, scroll down to the commit concerned,
and hit "=".
That "=" comes from this line in ~/.tigrc:
bind main = !git commit --fixup=%(commit)
Please use such methods to keep interactivity where it belongs, is my opinion.
