def histedit(ui, repo, *freeargs, **opts):
"""interactively edit changeset history
- This command edits changesets between an ANCESTOR and the parent of
- the working directory.
+ This command lets you edit a linear series of changesets (up to
+ and including the working directory, which should be clean).
+ You can::
+
+ - `pick` to [re]order a changeset
+
+ - `drop` to omit changeset
+
+ - `mess` to reword the changeset commit message
+
+ - `fold` to combine it with the preceding changeset
+
+ - `roll` like fold, but discarding this commit's description
+
+ - `edit` to edit this changeset
The value from the "histedit.defaultrev" config option is used as a
revset to select the base revision when ANCESTOR is not specified.
