Some option parsers avoid this sort of ambiguity by not allowing short
options that take a string to be bundled in the same word with other
short options.

So, for example, git-commit -am<msg> would not be allowed, while
git-commit -a -m<msg> and perhaps git-commit -am <msg> would be allowed.

There could still be problems if there were a --mend option that could
be typoed as -mend.

I don't know enough about compatability to say if this would work for git.
