New issue 318: Changed files should not be auto-selected after commit if the user unselected them http://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/stable/issue/318/changed-files-should-not-be-auto-selected-after-commit-if-the-user-unselected
amadawn on Tue, 23 Jun 2009 12:24:50 +0200: Description: When you open the commit tool, all the changed files are automatically selected. This is fine and useful. If then you unselect some of the files, perhaps because you can to split a set of changes into several separate commits, once you click the commit button the remaining changed files are auto-selected again. I think that this is very counterintuitive, specially when you are committing separately several changes that are made on the same file More than once I have found myself having committed files which I did not intend to commit (yet) or that I wanted to commit separately, with a different commit message. Ideally, TortoiseHg should realize that the list of files to commit had been changed from the default (i.e. all changed files) and not change it automatically until the commit tool is closed. Also, when this happens (i.e. when you accidentally commit files, but you still have local changes that you have not commited), it is very hard to undo your commit. If you try to go to the change log and do a "strip revision" to start over, you get an error message saying that there are uncommited local changes! So far, the best method that I have found to undo such an error is to make a manual copy of the modified files into a temporary folder, strip the last revision, and copy the changed files from the temp folder on top of the original files. Perhaps I should use the "Shelve" tool instead (although that currently has a problema as described in a separate issue). Other than that, is there any other way to do undo a commit, while safely keeping the local changes? It would be great if TortoiseHg let you do something like that!
