I though Robert had put together a spec for this but I can't see one
under http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/DraftSpecs.

It might be pretty straight forward if we keep it simple. How about
something like a .bzrmeta/corrections file in ini format that looks
something like:

  [rev-id-x]
  message = Commit message without the spelling mistake
  author = ...

'bzr log' could be trained to check for corrections before displaying
information.

Down the track, we could add a 'correct' command. Initially though,
manually editing the text file would be fine.
