Description

So if someone does a feat commit and then a BREAKING CHANGE commit, then there will be a major version.

However, what if someone makes a commit that says BREAKING CHANGE, but then realizes that it's actually not a breaking change. How can they nullify the accidental commit message and make it a minor change instead?

Research direction

Start by reviewing how commit-analyzer interprets BREAKING CHANGE commits and the surrounding issue discussion to determine whether an override is intended. Define what behavior should turn an accidental breaking-change commit into a minor release, then identify the relevant tests needed to verify that decision.
