            The minimum number of hexadecimal digits to show for abbreviated

        Amend an existing commit by replacing only explicitly passed values,
        return the rewritten commit's oid.

        This creates a new commit that is exactly the same as the old commit,
        except that any explicitly passed values will be updated. The new
        commit has the same parents as the old commit.

        You may omit the `author`, `committer`, `message`, `tree`, and
        `encoding` parameters, in which case this will use the values
        from the original `commit`.

        Parameters:

        commit : Commit, Oid, or str
            The commit to amend.

        refname : Reference or str
            If not `None`, name of the reference that will be updated to point
            to the newly rewritten commit. Use "HEAD" to update the HEAD of the
            current branch and make it point to the rewritten commit.
            If you want to amend a commit that is not currently the tip of the
            branch and then rewrite the following commits to reach a ref, pass
            this as `None` and update the rest of the commit chain and ref
            separately.

        author : Signature
            If not None, replace the old commit's author signature with this
            one.

        committer : Signature
            If not None, replace the old commit's committer signature with this
            one.

        message : str
            If not None, replace the old commit's message with this one.

        tree : Tree, Oid, or str
            If not None, replace the old commit's tree with this one.

        encoding : str
            Optional encoding for `message`.
