If we run without '-m' option like below:
$ git commit --fixup=reword:<commit>

Then it pops the editor with default "amend!" commit's message i.e:

amend! subject of <commit> we are fixing.

commit log message of <commit> we are fixing.

(Here the end-user is free to edit the above message body of "amend!" commit )

On the other hand, if used with -m option like below:
$ git commit --fixup=reword:<commit> -m "edited <commit> message"

Then it will not pop the editor and the prepared "amend!" commit is :

amend! subject of <commit> we are fixing.

edited <commit> message.

So, with the "-m" option users can do it with the command line only.
And in both the cases upon `git rebase --autosquash` the commit log
message of <commit> we are fixing, will automatically be replaced by
the commit message body of "amend!" commit.

Hope that explains the working and I also wonder if we can improve it
to make it more user friendly ?

Thanks and Regards,
Charvi
