Re: RFC - "git editlog" feature for fixing up local commit messages

There is a semi-documented procedure for amending previous commits
using an interactive rebase, but trying to understand it makes my
brain hurt.  Don't want to go there.

I'd recommend becoming familiar with rebase -i anyway -- it's just
plain useful, and really almost trivial to use once you've tried it.

Fixing comment typos is simple using the "r"/"reword" directive, but
the ability to rearrange, drop, and merge commits, is also very
handy and easy using rebase -i.
