In fact, this posting may not even represent my personal opinion, since occasionally I play devil's advocate.

Edit the log message, not the history.

I don't want to edit the history.

I want to edit the bleeding log message.

F**k hg.

Version control the old log message, for sure.

But don't make me use a bleeding sledgehammer, history editing, to change the commentary.

Is history what happened, or is it the commentary on what happened?  Historians write the latter.
