I can't test this yet but what is the end result of this?

Amend has two phases (sometimes):

1) prepare an intermediate commit with the changes in the wd
2) fold it with the parent cset and apply it

So if the user interrupts between 1 and 2, the repository is restored
to the how it looked prior to 1?
