We have talked about having a versioned file that gives the
"corrected" messages or other information about past commits.  It
probably solves the common case of wanting to correct a long-past
commit, and it does not complicate the model or introduce different
versions of past history, or mean that history is massively duplicated
by rebasing.

This would be moderately easy to prototype as a plugin that decorates
the repository to return different revision messages...
