commit: allow --amend to reuse message from another commit
After tentatively applying a patch from a contributor, you can get a
replacement patch with corrected code and unusable commit log message.
In such a case, this sequence ought to give you an editor based on the
message in the earlier commit, to let you describe an incremental
improvement:
git reset --hard HEAD^ ;# discard the earlier one
git am <corrected-patch
git commit --amend -c HEAD@{1}
Unfortunately, --amend insisted reusing the message from the commit
being amended, ignoring the -c option. This corrects it.
