Can one *do* this, i.e. retroactively change changelist descriptions? Is that advisable? That *would* be nice.

It is an administrative-only operation, because "changing the past" is something that really doesn't work in the model of a source librarian whose job it is to "remember the past".

But if ya gotta, there's always "p4 change -f". You can change the description, and certain other pieces of information about the changelist that was submitted two days (or however long) ago, but cannot change the list of files modified as a result of the change. You can't "unsubmit" a revision by deleting it from a changelist using "p4 change -f".
