Undo commit should restore messages

18 votes

When I commit changes with some message, and undo it, the files are restored in their proper locations (staged f.ex.), but the commit message and subject is lost.

Undoing a commit should restore the message subject and body.

Yes, I expect clicking undo to revert the state to right before I clicked the commit button.

This issue feels somewhat similar to this one, about commit amending and soft-resets :

The underlying need is the same : being able to quickly alter a commit content without having to set the commit message again.
