Crecord Extension

This extension is not distributed with Mercurial.

1. Overview

The crecord extension is a curses (i.e. text-based GUI) interface which provides the crecord and qcrecord commands that may be used in lieu of commit or qnew -f. These commands let you choose which parts of the changes in a working directory you'd like to commit, at the granularity of patch hunks or lines. It is similar in spirit to the [http://darcs.net/manual/node7.html#SECTION00761000000000000000 darcs record] command and the RecordExtension.

2. Features

In addition to allowing you to choose changes to commit at a line-level granularity, crecord has the following advantages over the text-only RecordExtension:

• Ability to scroll through all changes, jumping back and forth between changes.
• Patch headers and hunks can be folded to make it easy to view only the changes you're interested in.
• Commit message can be incrementally edited as you work through the changes
• Color display of changes and trailing whitespace

3. Configuration

To install the extension, first download the crecord.py file from the site above, and put it in a folder where you prefer to keep extensions (e.g. $HOME/hgext).

Configure your .hgrc file to enable the extension by adding following lines:

[extensions]
hgext.crecord=/path/to/crecord.py
