+--amend::
+
+	Used to amend the tip of the current branch. Prepare the tree
+	object you would want to replace the latest commit as usual
+	(this includes the usual -i/-o and explicit paths), and the
+	commit log editor is seeded with the commit message from the
+	tip of the current branch. The commit you create replaces the
+	current tip -- if it was a merge, it will have the parents of
+	the current tip as parents -- so the current top commit is
+	discarded.

+It is a rough equivalent for:
+------
+	$ git reset --soft HEAD^
+	$ ... do something else to come up with the right tree ...
+	$ git commit -c ORIG_HEAD

+but can be used to amend a merge commit.
