rewrite description for existing changset

[weijun.wang]

Hi All

Is there a way to rewrite description texts for existing changeset? A  
command is good, otherwise, some python code is also ok. Please give  
me an example, I'm not familiar with python and mercurial objects. If  
there's no way, I'll have to break the repo into patches and re-apply  
the history.

I'm doing this because we've converted some huge old repo to mercurial  
for historical search. The changeset descriptions need some enhancement.

Thanks
Max

Yes, a simple web search for "mercurial rewrite history" should help you.

The changeset description is one of the items hashed to identify the
changeset, so you can't change it and preserve the changeset.

http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/EditingHistory outlines the options.
