But it obviously also changes the SHA1 of the commit - it generates a totally new one. You cannot do it after-the-fact or deep in history (well, you can, with the normal "rebase" op, but it literally is no different from changing the patch itself too). BK used to be able to change the logs after-the-fact, but that meant that the logs were not trustworthy, and any changes also didn't distribute right (they'd only be changed locally and in any subsequent distributions) Linus
