Summary: Qct: most recent overwrite entered message without warning

Initial Comment:
In the commit dialog box, selecting any option from the "Most Recent" list 
under commit message causes any data currently entered in the commit message 
box to be replaced completely with no option to recover it.

It's easy to accidentally select an option from this box by a misclick, or by 
rotating the scroll wheel on your mouse while the pointer is over this box. 
With large commits, this can very easily result in a considerable amount of 
data being erased.

One possible solution for this would be to display a warning dialog before 
replacing a non-empty commit message with a "Most Recent" message, asking the 
user to confirm that they wish to replace data. This warning dialog should 
probably not be display if the data being replaced exactly matches an item 
already in the most recent list.

Message:
I've updated the the tracker summary to better reflect the issue.

BTW, the commit dialog you are referring to is Qct. I will relay the bug
report to the Qct team later. If you want, you may try out TortoiseHg's
internal commit tool, which doesn't have this problem. See TortoiseHg's FAQ
on how to enable the internal commit tool/
