Amendment:

You can easily, but only the latest commit, with "git commit --amend". Be 
warned though, the same as with rebase applies here: if you pushed this 
commit somewhere else, or if users fetched that branch from you (including 
the not-yet-edited commit), they _will_ have problems fetching and/or 
merging.

Ciao,
