Crecord Extension
This extension is not distributed with Mercurial.
Author: Mark Edgington

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 archive from the site above, and extract it to 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/package
(note: the package directory is the one containing the _ _init_ _.py file)
