I agree with you that it can sometimes be useful to write something
else/more than "Edit password for /system/root using vi."

however "pass git commit --amend" will always work and be a no-op if you
don't change the commit message.  the only downside to this is that your
GPG passphrase has to be re-entered if you don't use a gpg-agent.

in other words, I suggest you make your own alias, something like

  mypass() {
    pass "$@" && {
      case $1 in
        edit|generate)
          pass git commit --amend
          ;;
      esac
    }
  }

(for Bourne shell, typed directly into mail program, so it's untested)
