"hg rollback" (Rollback/Undo) and commit again b. use MQ c. upgrade to recent Mercurial and TortoiseHg to use amend Since you are on Linux, it's pretty easy to run Mercurial from source: % aptitude install python2.7-dev pyqt4-dev-tools % hg clone http://selenic.com/repo/hg/ % make -C hg local % hg clone https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg/ % HGPATH=`pwd`/hg ./thg/thg For details, see http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/UnixInstall#Build_directory_installation https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg/wiki/developers/Linux > 4) What happened?
