           Summary: Ability to edit commit message after branch
          Severity: feature
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: cowwoc at bbs.darktech.org
          Hardware: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 2.7
         Component: histedit
           Product: Mercurial

I don't know if this RFE belongs to the "histedit" or "convert" command, but
I'd like to be able to edit a commit messages after a branching operation. See
http://stackoverflow.com/q/8161268/14731 for a related request by a different
user.

Currently, histedit fails with "abort: cannot edit history that would orphan
nodes" and convert does not offer functionality for editing commit messages.
