   That requires me to do an extra step before I know I have to do that extra 
step (it is only have that I have typed hg commit that I see a mystery file 
that I didn't know I changed.) So now it is a many step process

hg commit    !   crap see something in their I don't understand
exit emacs without saving
hg diff
hg revert
hg commt

   The problem with the GUI's is that they are ALL GUI, so I have to hunt down 
the GUI icon, click on some buttons then close the GUI window manually. While 
with command line I am right there and hg commit, pull, push etc can be 
executed much faster

   What I want is the the editor that opens with commit display each file 
changed and below some of the diffs. And then in the editor I can mark any of 
the diffs if I chose as revert or as don't include in commit. Is that too much 
to ask? Or an hg commit that opens a simple GUI just for the commit (instead of 
an editor) with all possible options of revert etc (bk had this 10+ years ago 
and hg still doesn't have it).
