Hi
I was wondering why 'hg revert -r XXX --no-commit` does not exist.
Here is why that might be useful
Lately I am confronted with the following situation
#+begin_src

#+end_src
And I need to revert some hunks from 1749 in 1752.
So I do
+ hg diff tip:1749 > mydiff.diff
+ hg import --no-commit mydiff.diff
And then I use emacs vc-diff, and the possibility to split, delete, and
to commit only some of the hunks.
This approach results in a linear history. I could also checkout 1749,
make the `inverse operation` and then merge, but that is a question of
preference.
I came up with the following alias
replay = !sh -c 'hg diff -r .:$1 > mydiff.diff && hg import --no-commit
mydiff.diff'
Maybe somebody find this useful, or thinks
`hg revert -r XXX --no-commit`
Would be the more logical implementation.
