Help: metaedit
hg metaedit [OPTION]... [[-r] REV]...
edit commit information
Edits the commit information for the specified revisions. By default, edits commit information for the working directory parent.
With --fold, also folds multiple revisions into one if necessary. In this case, the given revisions must form a linear unbroken chain.
Some examples:
- Edit the commit message for the working directory parent:
hg metaedit
- Change the username for the working directory parent:
hg metaedit --user 'New User <new-email@example.com>'
- Combine all draft revisions that are ancestors of foo but not of @ into one:
hg metaedit --fold 'draft() and only(foo,@)'
See 'hg help phases' for more about draft revisions, and 'hg help revsets' for more about the 'draft()' and 'only()' keywords.
