Good idea.

The easiest way I can think of would be to split by first undoing the
commit via `git reset --hard HEAD^` (don't worry, the commit graph is
still accessible via the reflog), then staging the parts of the patch that
put the short options first: `git checkout -p HEAD@{1}`. After that is
done, commit with a new commit message, then get the remainder of the
changes via `git cherry-pick HEAD@{2}` (by now, the original commit is no
longer `HEAD@{1}` because a new commit has been appended to the reflog).

Then force-push and submit a new iteration ;-)

Ciao,
