C-u doesn't sound that bad, but maybe a little hard for the user to
discover. Given that the current behavior in the "no changes" case is
to do nothing at all, which is almost certainly not what the user
wanted, any reason to not just use another prompt at that point?
("There are no changes to commit; would you like to amend the previous
log message?")
It should at least print a message in that case (maybe advertising the
C-u behavior).
