Sorry, I missed that question.

The easiest solution is:

        git commit --amend

This command allows you to edit the command message. If you forgot a file, 
you can add it with:

        git commit --amend <file>

NOTE NOTE NOTE! You must not do this when you pushed out that commit 
(before amending it) to the public git repository. It disrupts the commit 
history, i.e. you can no longer fast-forward the public branch to the new 
tip. Consequently, git-fetch and git-pull would fail for tracking parties.

BTW I'd be interested to know how you could commit without a message, 
since git-commit does not allow that... How did you do it?

Ciao,
