That's what importing the commit as a patch, refreshing with -e or new  
changes, and then qfinishing it does. The original commit perishes  
when you import it into the patch queue; only the modified version  
survives. The procedure that Steve Borho suggested does not create any  
new commits on top of the one you're correcting.
