Subject: Editing a typo in the message given to "git commit"
Message-ID: <201608211519.u7LFJiMR090069@shell1.rawbw.com>

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.
