help: remove per-extension paragraph on how to enable it
The central place to find this information is the "extensions" help topic.
% help
hg record [OPTION]... [FILE]...
interactively select changes to commit
If a list of files is omitted, all changes reported by "hg status"
will be candidates for recording.
See 'hg help dates' for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.
You will be prompted for whether to record changes to each
modified file, and for files with multiple changes, for each
change to use. For each query, the following responses are
possible:
y - record this change
n - skip this change
s - skip remaining changes to this file
f - record remaining changes to this file
d - done, skip remaining changes and files
a - record all changes to all remaining files
q - quit, recording no changes
? - display help
options:
-A --addremove mark new/missing files as added/removed before
committing
--close-branch mark a branch as closed, hiding it from the branch
list
-I --include include names matching the given patterns
-X --exclude exclude names matching the given patterns
-m --message use <text> as commit message
-l --logfile read commit message from <file>
-d --date record datecode as commit date
-u --user record the specified user as committer
use "hg -v help record" to show global options
