This seems to have come from 00ea64ed (doc/git-commit: add
documentation for fixup=[amend|reword] options, 2021-03-15),
if "git blame" is to be trusted.
> [--dry-run] [(-c | -C | --squash) <commit> | --fixup [(amend|reword):]<commit>)]
We can have --dry-run but we do not have to, we can have only one of
"-c <commit>"
"-C <commit>",
"--squash <commit>",
"--fixup amend:<commit>"
"--fixup reword:<commit>", or
"--fixup <commit>"
as they are mutually exclusive, but it is OK if we have none of
them.
The last closing parenthesis after <commit> but before the closing
square bracket is unwanted, I think, as you pointed out.
