at this point i'm actually thinking in the opposite direction: introduce commands that let me move by a few commits without even opening the todo editor (where have i seen that already? jj?).
When I'm working on a patch series I use this approach a lot with a "git rewrite" script I have. To amend a commit I run "git rewrite amend <commit>" and it will start a rebase or rewind the current one. It will also take a file, line number pair and use "git diff" to map that line onto HEAD and then "git blame" to work out which commit to amend so you can run it from your editor and say "amend the commit that added this line" which is a great time saver. I'd love to a command like that upstream in git but I don't think it covers all the cases that "rebase --rewind" does such as dscho rebasing git-for-windows.
