The to-do list command `reword` replays a commit like `pick` but lets the user also edit the commit's log message. If `--keep-empty` is passed as option to git-rebase--interactive, empty commits ought to be replayed without complaints. However, if the users chooses to reword an empty commit by changing the respective to-do list entry from pick fa1afe1 Empty commit to reword fa1afe1 Empty commit , then git-rebase--interactive suddenly fails to replay the empty commit. This is especially counterintuitive because `reword` is thought of as a `pick` that alters the log message in some way but nothing more and the unchanged to-do list entry would not fail. Handle `reword` by cherry-picking the named commit and editing the log message using git commit --allow-empty --amend instead of git commit --amend. Add test.
