Functionality inspired by git-cola. Somehow I appreciate this feature, but this week I broke my Qt setup and didn't have time to recompile it, and git-cola was out of order, which prompted use of tig. Instead of working towards adding a commit over our HEAD, we're considering a HEAD~1 baseline (which is in principle, not in actuality). The stage view presents a fake-index with differences from HEAD~1. Committing recalls the previous commit, for amending. Assisted-by: codex-gpt-5.4

Hey there,
I've had tig on the computer for years, but not relied on it too much: there was a thing that had made me rely on git cola for editing commits, it was its amend mode.
The amend mode allows to directly stage amend commits.
But a Gentoo update on my laptop this week-end was not successful and I was left without a git-cola... but I needed to code, and went back to tig as I didn't have much of a choice, and have been trying to rely more on TUI interfaces.
Something that I also have now is access to automatic coding, and with minimal free time on my end, quickly enough Codex got a good portion of this changeset done, without too much hand-holding.
I was not familiar with the tig codebase, and I can't claim that I still am, but the changes look straightforward, a bit of indirection was added in order to keep the non-amend vs. amend paths close.
What puzzled me more was the style to be used for continuation lines (sometimes tabs are used, sometimes spaces), and I "followed" as much as I could.
I used the feature and it seems good enough for a review.
Thank you,
