Modifying an already-visible commit will be very obvious when anyone who 
has the original commit tries to pull, given that there should never be 
non-fast-forward pushes (to master, release branches or shared development 
branches) so people pulling (without local changes on the branch being 
pulled to) expect a fast-forward update.
