I am learning how to use git. I would like to know: How can I correct a typo in the message I gave to an old "git commit"? I see that the typo occurs in exactly two files in .git: .git/logs/refs/heads/master .git/logs/HEAD /usr/bin/file says that they are both ASCII English text. So I could just hand edit them. But that seems somehow sacrilegious and might break git.
