Research direction

Start by locating the Godot Git Plugin code that displays committed messages and handles their context-menu actions, then trace how existing Git operations are exposed there. Define the edit-message interaction for unpushed commits and verify it against the commit history UI on Windows; the feature is done when a message can be edited through that context menu and the resulting commit history reflects it.
