The reason for the change is, that --reuse-message is
misleading, because the long option name does not tell
the user, that the authorship information is kept.

Hi,
I can imagine the negative feedback as
* don't change long-time-used options
* --reuse-commit, but --reedit-message?
* ...
But I want to give it a try ;-)
1. I think that the --reuse-message long option
is not used by anyone, but you can quickly generate
a counterexample :)
Why not used? Because it was not documented in
git-commit.txt until "Sun Jun 8 03:36:08 2008 +0200"
(git show bc47c29).
2. Later we could add something like -M/--reuse-message
that just reuses the message and not the authorship.
See also the parent mail.
