I can't tell, based upon this description, if '-m<msg> --edit' is a
valid combination and, if so, does it correctly open the editor after
appending <msg>?

Hmm, so the first -m appended to the "fixup!" line, but the second -m
appended after a blank line? That doesn't seem very intuitive.

Also, doesn't the text following "fixup!" need to exactly match the
summary line of the commit message in order for "git rebase -i
--autosquash" to work? Am I overlooking something obvious?
