First, the "misleading" part could be corrected by renaming long option
to --edit-description or --edit-message. Second "stg refresh -e" matches
non-StGIT usage of "git commit --amend"; and it is damn useful to have
it as one command, not two.

I'll wait. As I am not running StGIT master, but released version,
I would have to waith nevertheless on next release.
