Wrong BugID (whoops!)

[Dmitry Samersoff]

Mark,

1.

For cases like this I would like to have a file counting problematic
changesets e.g. ProblemChangesetList.txt, otherwise it's hard to
restore the history after couple of years.

2.

Starting from Mercurial 2.2

hg has --amend command that allows to perform limited but safe editing
of the history. Never tried it so not sure it helps in this case.
