Description John Arthorne

The buttons for "Commit" and "Amend" aren't very intuitive. I find I have to read the tooltip all the time to make sure I'm doing the right thing. Also, "amend" is a potentially dangerous thing to do, and it is currently too easy to click it by mistake.

I suggest changing the buttons into text hyperlinks instead. For amend, another option is to make it a checkbox under the commit button so it is a little harder to click it by mistake.

+1 for changing it to a link (or a regular button with the label "Commit"). Also +1 for using a checkbox for the --amend option.

Another thing that has bothered me is that the commit comment is not cleared after the commit is performed.
