I believe any plan that routinely causes us to rewrite history is a bad
plan.  Just do the second commit, it's a lot faster and safer.  While I
can think of cases where the commit message was rude or offensive rather
than just correct, I also cannot imagine anyone at ISC doing such.

I'll get you access to it, somewhere.  I'll probably clone a copy onto
the bind10 server for you in a bit, and you can commit to it there.  The
main one is on isc's repository server, and well...  not certain you can
reach that.
