Edit A Monticello Commit Message?

Joel Turnbull-3

Is there a way to edit an already committed message in a monticello package?

Thanks,
Joel

A .mcz file is a zip file. Unzip it in a temp area. Carefully edit the
commit message - once you've unzipped the files, just poke around, to
find which file to edit. The .bin file can be ignored - not sure what
it's for, but if you want to hack the source.st file, you need to remove
it. Finally, zip the files again, and name it the same as the original
.mcz file. Then test the new .mcz file.

I'm not sure whether the comments are copied to every subsequent
version, so if you're not hacking the last version, then you may have to
hack every version up to where the problematic commit message was entered.

Hope that helps. Don't forget to back up your files beforehand.
