magit-commit-revise is an autoloaded, interactive and byte-compiled function defined in magit-commit.el.

Signature

(magit-commit-revise &optional COMMIT ARGS)

Documentation

Reword the message of an existing commit, without editing its tree.

If there is a reachable commit at point, target that. Otherwise prompt for a commit. If magit-commit-squash-confirm is non-nil, always make the user explicitly select a commit, in a buffer dedicated to that task.

During a later rebase, when this commit gets squashed into its targeted commit, a combined commit is created which uses the message of the fixup commit and the tree of the targeted commit.

In other words, call "git commit --fixup=reword:COMMIT --edit".
