This patch series teaches `git commit --fixup` to create "amend!" commit as an alternative that works with `git rebase --autosquash`. It allows to fixup both the content and the commit message of the specified commit. Here we add two suboptions to the `--fixup`, first `amend` suboption that creates an "amend!" commit. It takes the staged changes and also allows to edit the commit message of the commit we are fixing. Example usuage: git commit --fixup=amend:<commit> Secondly, `reword` suboption that creates an empty "amend!" commit i.e it ignores the staged changes and only allows to reword/edit the commit message of the commit we are fixing. `--fixup=reword:<commit>` is a short-hand of `--fixup=amend:<commit> --only`. Example usuage: git commit --fixup=reword:<commit> ** This work is rebased on the top of cm/rebase-i-updates. Changes from v3 : (Thanks to Junio C Hamano and Eric Sunshine for the reviews and suggesting the improvements required in the previous patches ) * Now `--fixup=reword:` aliases `--fixup=amend: --only`. Added the respective test and updated documentation. * Modified prepared_amend_commit() in commit.c. * Renamed the subject_length() to commit_subject_length() [v3 - 1/6] * Modified the --fixup=[amend|reword] documentation * Also, updated the commit messages and some other minor cleanup.
