Applied instead of 00c8febf563da on Junio's pu it breaks t1400:

Which is not the test actually failed. The failed one is 28, but the
last "rm -f M" killed the error because of missed "&&" before it.

I believe you need something like this to fix the test:

and something like this to refill the strbuf of commit message with
the text read from the amended commit (the failed test was a
"git commit --amend"). The patch is on top of yours "Export
launch_editor() and make it accept ':' as a no-op editor":
