I didn't follow all the context, but "hg commit --amend" will open an
editor where you can edit the commit message. Note that if you've
already pushed the commit, we can't really rewrite the commit message
without some serious history editing. There is an experimental
extension for hg that allows public history rewriting, but we
shouldn't use that yet.
