hi, I've read this page before posting, it's hard, so I said "no easy way".


not asking : how about (how to) editing version history (author,date
or commit message)
but :  how about (how to) editing version history (author,date or
commit message) like editing Tags ?

when editing tags HG'd log every changes. I'm thinking  if we can edit
version history (author,date or commit message) like this.
