But this isn’t changed?

You can use this `commit --amend` snippet to change it. It worked for me
at least.

    cat >rewrite-msg.sh <<-\EOF
    #!/bin/sh

    file="$1"
    git format-rev --stdin-mode=text --format=reference <"$file" \
        | par g0 \
        | sponge "$file"
    EOF
    chmod +x rewrite-msg.sh
    GIT_EDITOR=./rewrite-msg.sh git commit --amend
