No complicated strategies necessary.
I'm not talking about modified or not modified commit message. I'm not
forcing anybody to modify commit message in order to proceed with
commit --amend.
I'm talking about consistent behaviour of main operations:

Commit - you must save on exit from your editor, simply exiting will abort.

Same should be applied to rebase -i and of course to commit --amend as
it is still commit operation.

Even if the text is OK or you agree with generated sequence of rebase
- confirm that explicitly by saving on exit from the editor, else it
should abort. Pretty obvious to me...;)
