You speak to my heart, sir. In your ~/.hgrc, under the section [ui], set “editor = path/to/mercurial/source/hgeditor” and enjoy your diffs. I use it and love it.
Except it doesn't quite work the way I want it to (hg 1.6.3). It opens your editor with two files, one is the commit message and the other is the diff. (The script itself is a bit buggy too. ;) But it's a good clue, and I've modified the default hgeditor script to get closer, and fix the bug I noticed. I basically append the diff to the temporary log message file. It's still not right though because if the diff lines aren't prepended with 'HG:', they end up in the commit message. Arg. Oh well, I can clearly hack a more complicated script together. It's such a blindingly obvious improvement, it's too bad 'hg commit' doesn't DTRT by default. -Barry
