Developers (even experienced ones) commit wrong messages sometimes,
Fossil doesn't provide any sensible way to clean up.
There should be a way to replace message given commit id.

UI is not an option, it is severe defect that one can't change commit message using command line interface.
In particular it makes fossil hard to integrate into common development environments such as Emacs.
