What exactly does the ReCommit feature in TortoiseGit do?

I recently updated git and TortoiseGit and when I wanted to do my next commit I noticed a new feature called ReCommit. Being curious as I am, I just clicked on it. Now it seems to have done a regular commit and reopened the refreshed commit dialog, but the console/log window immediately disappeared so I couldn't see what was going on in the background.

Unfortunately the TortoiseGit doc doesn't include any hints on this.

Is ReCommit really just commit and reopen commit dialog or is there more to this?

What does TortoiseGit do?

TortoiseGit is a free open-source client for the Git version control system. That is, TortoiseGit manages files over time. Files are stored in a local repository. The repository is much like an ordinary file server, except that it remembers every change ever made to your files and directories.

What is Stash changes in TortoiseGit?

TortoiseGit Manual Stashing takes the dirty state of your working directory — that is, your modified tracked files and staged changes — and saves it on a stack of unfinished changes that you can reapply at any time (even on a different branch).

What is rebase in TortoiseGit?

Rebase is quite complex and it alters/rewrites the history of a repository. Please make sure you understood its principles before using it (for general hints where to find more information about Git and rebasing see the section called “Reading Guide” and especially the section called “git-rebase(1)”).

It really is just "commit and leave the commit dialog open." Based on the discussion here: https://tortoisegit.org/issue/527

Also see the official documentation: https://tortoisegit.org/docs/tortoisegit/tgit-dug-commit.html
