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.
