I think this is getting a little too complicated. We must
presume our users know what they are doing, so we should only
try to be clever if darcs would otherwise behave surprisingly
and thereby fool the users. I'm with Zachary on the semantics of
Amend-record. It should only perform the amendments I ask for.
If I want to change the author of a patch I will know so, and to
what, and ask for it.

About the interface: I can think of many ways to do this. One
would be to ask the normal series of questions as for a Record
(but always prompt for the author name), with the old values
pre-entered so you just hit return if you don't want to change
them.

Another could be to make Amend a super command with sub
commands: Record, Author, Name, Comment.
