Description & Comments:
Developers (even experienced ones) commit wrong messages sometimes, Fossil doesn't provide any sensible way to clean up. There should be a way to replace message given commit id. drh added on 2010-11-08 12:19:10: Run "fossil ui". Then click on the check-in that you want to edit. Click on "Edit" hyperlink to the right of "Other Links:". There you can change the check-in comment, the commit time, the background color, the branch that the commit is part of, and other details. anonymous added on 2010-11-09 16:26:54: UI is not an option, it is severe defect that one can't change commit message using command line interface. In particular it makes fossil hard to integrate into common development environments such as Emacs.
