Just to avoid any confusion from those who don't know the difference: in
Fossil you can't actually edit anything at all once it's been committed.
You can _amend_ the record with the new data, but not change the original.
e.g. a new commit comment is actually just a tag named "comment", and the
system takes the most recent comment tag which was applied to that
artifact. This provides the illusion of some data having been edited, when
in fact none has been changed.
