It would help _amend_ the log message though.
Indeed. Another possible use is for sanity checking the amendment. I'll
often look over the diff in my editor as a final check of what I'm about
to commit, and when amending a commit I think I would find it helpful to
be able to review the changes being amended separately from the full set
of changes.
