Not that I know of.

I had it right, but noticed that my username was wrong, did 'git commit --amend', but it didn't do what I expected, so I committed with the wrong comment.

IMHO you can also change the username and e-mail, but not with git commit --amend.

See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/750172/how-do-i-change-the-author-of-a-commit-in-git

Hi,

It looks like it's possible, see "Rewriting a single commit" in the Git User’s Manual:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/user- manual.html#rewriting-one-commit

Make sure that you have an excellent excuse if you mess up the repository... ;-)

Are you sure that this works on a pushed commit? All I can see in this instruction is that you work on your local checkout, without having pushed your commits.

No (of course) -- I've never tried. Let's see what happens... ;-)
