Grammar. I think this comes under Correlative conjunctions and parallel structure.  

<our missteps> is something 
<amendments> is a noun - unlikely to be the same kind of thing 

Initially, I think this fails parallel construction

I also think it probably fails the correlative bit. I'd expect "None of our missteps and none of our amendments". That's clearly too verbose for your tastes.

Thanks 

> abort: cannot amend public changesets

That's a poor error message...
I'd expect to be explicitly informed that my commit is frozen...‎
