How do I fix a typo in a git commit comment?

[Mark Atwood]

We can accumulate a list of typos and gltiches in the history.   We will
wait until something major, or it gets long enough, and then we can fix
them all in one force push.

In the meantime, for this typo, code up adding a comment to the relevant
code about the typo, then commit the change with a commit comment that
references the incorrect commit text.  That will stamp it into the history.
