hg commit has an "--amend" option that allows you to change the last
(un-pushed) commit.  Even if there aren't actually any changes to be
committed, it will pop up a text editor with the commit message of the
last commit already filled in, allowing you to change the message.
Any time you `hg commit --amend`, it saves the original commit locally
as a bundle in the .hg dir, so you can restore it if need be.

I haven't tested it, but from a quick look at TortoiseHg Workbench's
Commit screen, it looks like --amend can be done from the down arrow
on the commit button, "Amend current revision".
