Is it both technically possible (with hg) and socially permissible (with us) to edit another's commit message?

It's not technically possible, but it would be socially permissible to fix spelling mistakes.

With hg, editing commit messages would require some sort of patch queue system, where the editor approves and manufactures commits out of the data submitted by the actual author. As any patch queue system, it would mean that commits aren't immediately available. Once they are available, their data cannot be changed due to the distributed nature of the DVCS (something that a centralized system would have no issues with).

Regards, Martin
