I was about to fill a bug, but saw it was already here as bug #3913. I don't
see when it was closed as WONTFIX, so I'd like to open a new request summarized

The similar question from me. Why

  $ hg commit --amend filename

can't work the same way as

  $ hg commit filename


For me this is a major usability bug of --amend pattern. It is sad that we need
to return to that.
