Right.  If you're planning on working on the 'commit --amend' part,
could you add an error specifically stating that amending the messages
of older commits is not yet {supported|implemented}, please?  Currently
I think you just get a Lisp error or maybe nothing happens at all.
Given that I do this a lot I'll probably look into the rest of it at
some point.
