Use git commit --amend ... keep in mind this will rewrite the HEAD of your branch, so when you push you will have to use git push --force — Tim Biegeleisen

you may use git commit --amend -m "message" or may do this which is fairly equivalent :

$ git reset --soft HEAD
$ ... do something else to come up with the right tree ...
$ git commit -c ORIG_HEAD
