If the user runs git log while rewording a commit it is confusing if
sometimes we're amending the commit that's being reworded and at other
times we're creating a new commit depending on whether we could
fast-forward or not[1]. Fix this inconsistency by always committing the
picked commit and then running 'git commit --amend' to do the reword.
The first commit is performed by the sequencer without forking git
commit and does not impact on the speed of rebase. In a test rewording
100 commits with
GIT_EDITOR=true GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR='sed -i s/pick/reword/' \
../bin-wrappers/git rebase -i --root
and taking the best of three runs the current master took
957ms and with this patch it took 961ms.
This change fixes rewording the new root commit when rearranging commits
with --root.
Note that the new code no longer updates CHERRY_PICK_HEAD after creating
a root commit - I'm not sure why the old code was that creating that ref
after a successful commit, everywhere else it is removed after a
successful commit.

Check that cherry-pick and rebase call the 'prepare-commit-msg' hook
correctly. The expected values for the hook arguments are taken to
match the current master branch. I think there is scope for improving
the arguments passed so they make a bit more sense - for instance
cherry-pick currently passes different arguments depending on whether
the commit message is being edited. Also the arguments for rebase
could be improved. Commit 7c4188360ac ("rebase -i: proper
prepare-commit-msg hook argument when squashing", 2008-10-3) apparently
changed things so that when squashing rebase would pass 'squash' as
the argument to the hook but that has been lost.
I think that it would make more sense to pass 'message' for revert and
cherry-pick -x/-s (i.e. cases where there is a new message or the
current message in modified by the command), 'squash' when squashing
with a new message and 'commit HEAD/CHERRY_PICK_HEAD'
otherwise (picking and squashing without a new message).
