I think all of these ideas were already discussed in the earlier thread
from mid June this year, so I do not think there is no need for any more
"me too like it" comments to show the support for this feature, unless it
adds any new ideas of value.  I think "fixup and nothing else shouldn't
open editor" and "an option to pay attention to specially marked commit"
are good ideas but they both appear in the old thread already.

IIRC, the end result of the bikeshedding for the name of the command was
won by Dscho's "fixup":
