Note for public interfaces that commit after every change: In the case that some spam or inappropriate comment makes its way through you interface, you can remove the offending commit XYZ with: If the offending commit is the last commit: bzr: bzr uncommit && bzr revert git: git reset --hard HEAD^ other VCSs? If the offending commit is not the last commit: bzr: bzr rebase -r ..-1 --onto before:XYZ . (requires bzr-rebase plugin, note, you have to increment XYZ by hand for , because bzr does not support "after:XYZ".) git: git rebase --onto XYZ~1 XYZ other VCSs? Note that all of these _change_the_repo_history_, so only do this on your interface-specific repo before it interacts with any other repo.
