I agree with everyone who says it's a bad idea... but:

Perhaps you could generate a new changeset that modifies the patchlog
entry? That won't change it in the old changesets, but I'd expect that
it *will* change it in the generated changelog, and likely some other
places.

Wait for folks here to expound on why this is a Bad Idea before
implementing it, please -- but it might not be *quite* as bad as some of
the other (archive-modifying) suggestions.
