Thanks, that text confirms what I suspected, and will hopefully be
useful to others.

I wonder if it would be good to replace the first sentence with:

	Apply the changes from the specified commit, but then interrupt
	the histedit operation for amending, without creating a commit.

My fear is that otherwise a reader might assume at least one commit is
created by default (though how this would happen is unclear). But I'm
just speculating.
