So, I can fix those in the archives, but this obviously requires 
rebasing the whole repo, and I'm not sure what kind of impact that would 
have. I'm assuming it's not sufficient to just fix the git repo, as all 
commit IDs after the modified commit are going to be different -- so 
additional changes to sqlite and xapian dbs would be required?
