I've been thinking for a way to "queue" stuff for future commit message. adding stuff to a file then using -l <f> -e would work.

This could also help on the --amend front to have people explicitly asking for the editor.

However, I'm not trilled about adding such a flag both of my usecase have more elegant solution and I'm not convinced the `-m "omg this is too long" -e` worst it.
