In such a rare case, it would be possible to add a subsequent commit
that carries the corrected text, but no other changes (--allow-empty).
Or even revert the previous patch, then re-commit with a fixed text.
Watch out for "perfect is the enemy of the good" syndrome here (as in
the svn-git conversion).
