That a specially formatted header in the VC log buffer signals VC to
make the next checkin operation replace the last commit instead of
adding a new commit.  See vc-git-log-edit-toggle-amend and
vc-git-checkin for the details.  It boils down to whether or not the
nezt "git commit" is invoked with the --amend switch.
