Git commit - equivalent in mercury?

Question

In git, I can do "git commit --verbose" to show me diff in the message editor. I do not see in him any choice in mercury. Is there a mercury plugin to show me diff in a message editor or something similar?

Answer 1

Short answer: there is no equivalent to git commit --verbose in mercury, but it can be hacked.

The edit text is hardcoded to mercurial source , so no plugin or configuration can directly change it.

The best you can do is hack the ui.editor setting in hgrc to directly add text to the editor. I created a hg-commit-editor script:

 #!/bin/sh echo "HG: " >> $1 hg diff | sed -e 's|^|HG: |' >> $1 editor $1 

and then install it as my commit editor in my hgrc:

 [ui] editor = hg-commit-editor 

This adds the output of “hg diff” to the end of the edit text file, adding each line with “HG:”, so it is not included as part of the commit message.

Not directly, but you can combine:

• Mercurial: multiline commit message on command line? "
  hg commit -l filename.txt >
  (which will be fixed without opening the editor)
• " How to configure the commit message file generated by hg commit ? "
  Using the text you just created as a commit message, you will see when the editor appears, when you hg commit .
  from:
• " In Mercurial (hg), how do you see the list of files that will be pressed if hg push is issued? "
  hg -q outgoing --style ~/out-style.txt | sort -u
  or:
  hg outgoing -v |grep files: |cut -c 14- |tr ' ' '\n' |sort -u

So: creating a file with the correct information in it (a list of files to click) as a commit message.

Not exactly the same result, but the closest iteration:

before committing you can hg diff see diff in WC, using the alias extension you can create an alias for a pair of hg diff and hg commit "
