(Of course, in my editor, I can presumably do something >> like ":Git show -s " if I want.) In other words, removing is easy, while remembering and retyping is harder. When I split an existing commit, that is almost always because after doing too many things in a single commit and the time I realize it is when I am writing the commit message. So I would suggest to give the same original message to both, to avoid losing information.
