I'm sure there is a way to do this in git, but my searches are coming up empty. Is there an easy way to get the message, commit author, commit date and other info from one commit and amend the second commit with this data, without copying the actual commit contents?

You can use the -c flag:

$ git commit --amend --no-edit -c <other commit hash>
