Currently, in hg. git has a mechanism for adding notes which are
automatically displayed along with the original commit message, and
bzr is considering introducing such a mechanism. I'm not familiar
with the hg dev process (I use hg a lot, but so far it Just Works for
me :), but I would imagine they will move in that direction as well.

The notes mechanism is not useful for fixing spelling mistakes unless
they make the message unintelligible, but I suppose it might expand
the range of socially permissible additions.
