Description

Something I do quite frequently from vim in stage very small touchup fixes from the buffer using gitgutter to the git staging area, then switch to tig to look though and find the commit that the small touchup was supposed to be in, then run git revise to quickly put it there. The slowest part of this is finding the hash from the log and copying it to a command.

A Clap provider that showed the git log and executed by running git revise with the hash would speed this up immensely.

This is a feature request, so obviously not high priority. If nobody steps up with a provider contribution I might eventually try my hand at one, but I'm leaving this issue to track it because I don't have time at the moment.

Research direction
Examine existing providers in the vim clap repository, especially those that shell out to external commands. Understand the provider interface and how to register a new provider. Check if there are any comments from maintainers in this issue about desired design. Consider looking at the git revise tool's CLI to understand how to invoke it.
