Me too. It might be nice to design and implement this as part of the 3.0
UI push. I'm thinking of something like:

  bzr correct --committer foo --author bar --message "blah blah blah"

We don't want to mutate the *original* data so we'll need to store these
off to the side in a "corrections" file and work out some sensible way
of merging them. Would we want conflict resolution to be automagic or
user-controllable (http://bazaar-vcs.org/DraftSpecs/MetafileManagement)?

It would be easy to extend log (and any command that uses the log API)
to show corrections in place of the original data. Would that be
sufficient for most users?
