Subject: [git-users] Change commit messages after pushed on remote repository
Hi,
I use git and Redmine for managing team task and development source code.
When we commit source changes, we use following format:
Func: change something (refs #xxx)
When we import the git repository to another new Redmine, it is problem that
there are no appropriate (refs #xxx) , so we might blur other issues pages on
Redmine.
We planned git reflog to eliminate all of (refs #xxx) but hashed number will
be changed so it is problem that we already released the code with hash number.
Do you know any way to change commit message without changing hash number?
I guess I can modify commit objects in git repository, but I don't know how
to do.
Thank you for your support.

I don't use Redmine but you cannot change Git commits without changing the sha1
hash for that commit. That is by design and is a core part of the validation
and verification of a version control repository. ('git rebase' is used when
refining / re-writing history before publishing, which again changes the
sha1's, but that doesn't matter until that history is published)
If you want to re-write the history to remove the old "(refs #xxx)" values,
then you can use 'git filter-branch'. You can also insert a reference to the
old commit sha1 (and the source repo) if needed. But the commit's sha1 hash
will change.
