=== See diffs when editing commit message with VIM ===

Make a private copy of the 'hgeditor' script provided with mercurial and replace the call to the editor with following command:

{{{
vim "+e $HGTMP/diff" '+set buftype=help filetype=diff' "+vsplit $HGTMP/msg" || exit $?
}}}

This will start up VIM in vertical split mode with commit message in the left pane and diff in the right pane. The {{{buftype=help}}} setting for diff window tells vim to exit when all other windows are closed, so when you write and quit the log with {{{:x}}} ({{{:wq}}} - they are equivalent), vim exits. If you have syntax highlight set up, the diff will be properly highlighted.

This setting is suitable for wide terminals. If you have a narrow terminal, you may want to replace the {{{+vsplit}}} above with {{{+split}}} or add {{{nowrap}}} to the {{{+set}}}.

=== See diffstat of pulled changes ===

Place the following script (named "pull-diffstat" here) somewhere in your $PATH:

{{{
#!/bin/sh
test -n "$NODE" || exit 0
PARENT=`hg parents $NODE | head -1 | awk -F':' '{print $3}'`
TIP=`hg tip | head -1 | awk -F':' '{print $3}'`
echo "diffstat for $PARENT to $TIP"
hg diff -r $PARENT -r tip | diffstat
}}}

Add a changegroup entry to the [hooks] section of hgrc:

{{{
[hooks]
changegroup = pull-diffstat
}}}

Now you will see a diffstat of the new changes to your repo every time you do "hg pull".

=== A script to use the OS X FileMerge application to perform merges ===

{{{
#!/bin/sh

LOCAL=$1
BASE=$2
OTHER=$3

# Attempt to do a non-interactive merge
cp $LOCAL $LOCAL.orig
if merge $LOCAL $BASE $OTHER 2> /dev/null; then
  # success!
  rm $LOCAL.orig
  exit 0
fi

cp $LOCAL.orig $LOCAL
# opendiff "succeeds" as long as FileMerge launches. No way to tell if the
# merge is any good but to ask...
opendiff "$OTHER" "$LOCAL" -ancestor "$BASE" -merge "$LOCAL"
echo "Merge successful?"
select answer in yes no
do
  if test "$answer" == "yes"
  then
    rm $LOCAL.orig
    exit 0
  elif test "$answer" == "no"
  then
    exit 1
  fi
done

echo "filemerge: failed"
exit 1
}}}
