Occasionally I commit some code to the repository, add a comment/summary, then read the summary back and realise I've made a mistake or should have included a bit more information. It is possible to edit the summary after a commit in TortoiseHg? I'm using version 1.1

Use mercurial queues to convert the change-sets to patches, then strip those change-sets and re-apply the patches back to your repository.

When the patches are created, they are stored in the .hg/patches folder in your repository and you can edit these (including the commit message) before you re-apply them.

  • Enabled the Mercurial Queues extensions (MQ)
  • Right-click and select Import Revision to MQ for each change-set to convert them into patches in the patch queue
  • Enable the patch queue window from the view menu
  • Select the Un-apply All Patches arrow in the patch queue to strip the change-sets away
  • Edit the patch files in .hg/patches
  • Select Apply All Patches
  • Right-click on the patch and select Finish Applied to close down the queue
