A bit late, but I just got bit by this comment and i worked around it
using a replace ref:

$ git replace --edit 3a904d2c771115154380caaae7ffaaf0095fb88f

This let me generate a replacement commit with an edited commit message
so that b4 scanning for a commit won't find this particular b4 meta-data.

It is only local (as refs/replace does not generally get shared to
others via normal push/pull) but it worked well for me.

I thought I would share this with other folks as a potential workaround
for their setup. replace refs are special refs which git will
automatically use in place of a regular commit when it finds a matching ref.
