Revision data is write-once.  It is a very, very bad thing to change
write-once data in a distributed system.

If you insist on changing the email, you should use something like Jamie
Wilkinson's graft plugin, to create an alternate version of the branch
containing all-new revisions that are almost, the same as the ones in
the original, except for the changed address.
