`git-bug comment edit` has no effect

git-bug comment edit command seems to succeed (no error) but has no effect. This is also reflected with in termui whereby comments can be edited but there is no effect on completion of edit.

I'll take a look at this tomorrow since I'm working on tests for the commands package. From the description, it sounds like it might be in core (or maybe we're not replacing the cache contents?).

Sound like the same bug as in issue: #653 A solution is currently still being worked on: #664

I've created a draft PR (#855) which thus far only includes tests to help debug this issue. A bit of test instrumentation shows the following:

So it appears that the comment edit operation is being saved to the repository but isn't applied to the compiled snapshot comments. After tonight I'll be off-line until Sunday but can take a look at actually solving the problem then.

This should be fixed in master now.
