Sure. I don't have any objection to making

  stg refresh -e

be equivalent to

  stg refresh && stg edit-patch-message <topmost-patch>

What I'm objecting to is being forced to refresh when I just want to
edit the message. (And, to a lesser degree, having to manually push
and pop to make the patch topmost before I can edit its message.)

Obviously not annoyed enough to have written a patch for it yet,
though. :-)
