An amendment in the Indian Constitution is an act/law/bill in itself. It does modify the core document (the constitution) but it has an independent existence.

In that sense, one could argue that every "amendment" is a bugfix, feature-request of sorts.

Debatable both ways.

I personally like the idea of independent commits better as the "git browse" UIs handle individual commits better.

It’s a joke about git commit --amend.

lol, I took it too seriously then. I thought it to be a reference towards squashing all amendments into one commit.
