Merge branch 'cm/rebase-i-fixup-amend-reword'

"git commit --fixup=<commit>", which was to tweak the changes made
to the contents while keeping the original log message intact,
learned "--fixup=(amend|reword):<commit>", that can be used to
tweak both the message and the contents, and only the message,
respectively.

* cm/rebase-i-fixup-amend-reword:
  doc/git-commit: add documentation for fixup=[amend|reword] options
  t3437: use --fixup with options to create amend! commit
  t7500: add tests for --fixup=[amend|reword] options
  commit: add a reword suboption to --fixup
  commit: add amend suboption to --fixup to create amend! commit
  sequencer: export and rename subject_length()

++
+The commit created by plain `--fixup=<commit>` has a subject
+composed of "fixup!" followed by the subject line from <commit>,
+and is recognized specially by `git rebase --autosquash`. The `-m`
+option may be used to supplement the log message of the created
+commit, but the additional commentary will be thrown away once the
+"fixup!" commit is squashed into `<commit>` by
+`git rebase --autosquash`.
++
+The commit created by `--fixup=amend:<commit>` is similar but its
+subject is instead prefixed with "amend!". The log message of
+<commit> is copied into the log message of the "amend!" commit and
+opened in an editor so it can be refined. When `git rebase
+--autosquash` squashes the "amend!" commit into `<commit>`, the
+log message of `<commit>` is replaced by the refined log message
+from the "amend!" commit. It is an error for the "amend!" commit's
+log message to be empty unless `--allow-empty-message` is
+specified.
++
+`--fixup=reword:<commit>` is shorthand for `--fixup=amend:<commit>
+--only`. It creates an "amend!" commit with only a log message
+(ignoring any changes staged in the index). When squashed by `git
+rebase --autosquash`, it replaces the log message of `<commit>`
+without making any other changes.
++
+Neither "fixup!" nor "amend!" commits change authorship of
+`<commit>` when applied by `git rebase --autosquash`.
+See linkgit:git-rebase[1] for details.
