+ Used to amend the tip of the current branch. Prepare the tree\r
+ object you would want to replace the latest commit as usual\r
+ (this includes the usual -i/-o and explicit paths), and the\r
+ commit log editor is seeded with the commit message from the\r
+ tip of the current branch. The commit you create replaces the\r
+ current tip — if it was a merge, it will have the parents of\r
+ the current tip as parents — so the current top commit is\r
+ discarded.\r

+<p>It is a rough equivalent for:</p>\r
+<div class="listingblock">\r
+<div class="content">\r
+<pre><tt> $ git reset --soft HEAD^\r
+ $ ... do something else to come up with the right tree ...\r
+ $ git commit -c ORIG_HEAD</tt></pre>\r
+</div></div>\r
+<p>but can be used to amend a merge commit.</p>\r
