I am not sure what's your actual question is as `hg revert` never commit
(so a --no-commit) doesn't make sense there.
If you are looking for the equivalent of `git revert`, have a look at
`hg backout` which does have a `--no-commit` flag.

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

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.
