There are several ways we could eliminate this needless pain. Probably the simplest would be to agree on a simple format for including the NEWS and ACK info in the hg commit message and then agree on a process to batch update the NEWS and ACK files from the commit messages prior to each release.
The problem with this method is that spelling can't be fixed and messages can't be reformatted or expanded.
Another method would be to write a extension for Mercurial which is "smart" about the format of Misc/NEWS and could do the resolution automatically.
