hg qrefresh [-I] [-X] [-e] [-m TEXT] [-l FILE] [-s] [FILE]...
update the current patch
If any file patterns are provided, the refreshed patch will contain only
the modifications that match those patterns; the remaining modifications
will remain in the working directory.
If -s/--short is specified, files currently included in the patch will be
refreshed just like matched files and remain in the patch.
If -e/--edit is specified, Mercurial will start your configured editor for
you to enter a message. In case qrefresh fails, you will find a backup of
your message in ".hg/last-message.txt".
hg add/remove/copy/rename work as usual, though you might want to use git-
style patches (-g/--git or [diff] git=1) to track copies and renames. See
the diffs help topic for more information on the git diff format.
Returns 0 on success.
options ([+] can be repeated):
-e --edit invoke editor on commit messages
-g --git use git extended diff format
-s --short refresh only files already in the patch and
specified files
-U --currentuser add/update author field in patch with current user
-u --user USER add/update author field in patch with given user
-D --currentdate add/update date field in patch with current date
-d --date DATE add/update date field in patch with given date
-I --include PATTERN [+] include names matching the given patterns
-X --exclude PATTERN [+] exclude names matching the given patterns
-m --message TEXT use text as commit message
-l --logfile FILE read commit message from file
