How to edit commit messages?

[dr.chiarello]

Hi all,
  what are the best solution to:
1) interactively edit commit's messages (some or all)
2) batch edit commit's messages (for example using sed)

My repo is not published yet, so there is no problem in rewriting all
history.

Thanks in advance

git filter-branch --msg-filter 'sed s/foo/bar/g' master

to replace all occurrences of foo with bar in all commit
messages for all commits made on the master branch.

  git rebase -i

can help.

  git filter-branch --msg-filter sed 's/foo/bar/'

should do it.
