histedit: edit with custom filename

For instance, Emacs allows to open file with special features enabled
(AKA mode) based on the path/name of the file [1]. For such cases, use
'hg-histedit-XXX.txt' as filename pattern.

 """interactive history editing
 
 With this extension installed, Mercurial gains one new command: histedit. Usage
 is as follows, assuming the following history::
 
  @  3[tip]   7c2fd3b9020c   2009-04-27 18:04 -0500   durin42
  |    Add delta
  |
  o  2   030b686bedc4   2009-04-27 18:04 -0500   durin42
  |    Add gamma
  |
  o  1   c561b4e977df   2009-04-27 18:04 -0500   durin42
  |    Add beta
  |
  o  0   d8d2fcd0e319   2009-04-27 18:04 -0500   durin42
       Add alpha
 
 If you were to run ``hg histedit c561b4e977df``, you would see the following
 file open in your editor::
 
  pick c561b4e977df Add beta
  pick 030b686bedc4 Add gamma
  pick 7c2fd3b9020c Add delta
 
  # Edit history between c561b4e977df and 7c2fd3b9020c
  #
  # Commits are listed from least to most recent
  #
  # Commands:
  #  p, pick = use commit
  #  e, edit = use commit, but stop for amending
  #  f, fold = use commit, but combine it with the one above
  #  r, roll = like fold, but discard this commit's description
  #  d, drop = remove commit from history
  #  m, mess = edit commit message without changing commit content
  #
 
 In this file, lines beginning with ``#`` are ignored. You must specify a rule
 for each revision in your history. For example, if you had meant to add gamma
 before beta, and then wanted to add delta in the same revision as beta, you
 would reorganize the file to look like this::
 
  pick 030b686bedc4 Add gamma
  pick c561b4e977df Add beta
  fold 7c2fd3b9020c Add delta
 
  # Edit history between c561b4e977df and 7c2fd3b9020c
  #
  # Commits are listed from least to most recent
  #
  # Commands:
  #  p, pick = use commit
  #  e, edit = use commit, but stop for amending
  #  f, fold = use commit, but combine it with the one above
  #  r, roll = like fold, but discard this commit's description
  #  d, drop = remove commit from history
  #  m, mess = edit commit message without changing commit content
  #
 
 At which point you close the editor and ``histedit`` starts working. When you
 specify a ``fold`` operation, ``histedit`` will open an editor when it folds
 those revisions together, offering you a chance to clean up the commit message::
 
  Add beta
  ***
  Add delta
 
 Edit the commit message to your liking, then close the editor. For
 this example, let's assume that the commit message was changed to
 ``Add beta and delta.`` After histedit has run and had a chance to
 remove any old or temporary revisions it needed, the history looks
 like this::
 
  @  2[tip]   989b4d060121   2009-04-27 18:04 -0500   durin42
  |    Add beta and delta.
  |
  o  1   081603921c3f   2009-04-27 18:04 -0500   durin42
  |    Add gamma
  |
  o  0   d8d2fcd0e319   2009-04-27 18:04 -0500   durin42
       Add alpha
 
 Note that ``histedit`` does *not* remove any revisions (even its own temporary
 ones) until after it has completed all the editing operations, so it will
 probably perform several strip operations when it's done. For the above example,
 it had to run strip twice. Strip can be slow depending on a variety of factors,
 so you might need to be a little patient. You can choose to keep the original
 revisions by passing the ``--keep`` flag.
 
 The ``edit`` operation will drop you back to a command prompt,
 allowing you to edit files freely, or even use ``hg record`` to commit
 some changes as a separate commit. When you're done, any remaining
 uncommitted changes will be committed as well. When done, run ``hg
 histedit --continue`` to finish this step. You'll be prompted for a
 new commit message, but the default commit message will be the
 original message for the ``edit`` ed revision.
 
 The ``message`` operation will give you a chance to revise a commit
 message without changing the contents. It's a shortcut for doing
 ``edit`` immediately followed by `hg histedit --continue``.
 
 If ``histedit`` encounters a conflict when moving a revision (while
 handling ``pick`` or ``fold``), it'll stop in a similar manner to
 ``edit`` with the difference that it won't prompt you for a commit
 message when done. If you decide at this point that you don't like how
 much work it will be to rearrange history, or that you made a mistake,
 you can use ``hg histedit --abort`` to abandon the new changes you
 have made and return to the state before you attempted to edit your
 history.
 
 If we clone the histedit-ed example repository above and add four more
 changes, such that we have the following history::
 
    @  6[tip]   038383181893   2009-04-27 18:04 -0500   stefan
    |    Add theta
    |
    o  5   140988835471   2009-04-27 18:04 -0500   stefan
    |    Add eta
    |
    o  4   122930637314   2009-04-27 18:04 -0500   stefan
    |    Add zeta
    |
    o  3   836302820282   2009-04-27 18:04 -0500   stefan
    |    Add epsilon
    |
    o  2   989b4d060121   2009-04-27 18:04 -0500   durin42
    |    Add beta and delta.
    |
    o  1   081603921c3f   2009-04-27 18:04 -0500   durin42
    |    Add gamma
    |
    o  0   d8d2fcd0e319   2009-04-27 18:04 -0500   durin42
         Add alpha
 
 If you run ``hg histedit --outgoing`` on the clone then it is the same
 as running ``hg histedit 836302820282``. If you need plan to push to a
 repository that Mercurial does not detect to be related to the source
 repo, you can add a ``--force`` option.
 
 Histedit rule lines are truncated to 80 characters by default. You
 can customize this behavior by setting a different length in your
 configuration file::
 
   [histedit]
   linelen = 120      # truncate rule lines at 120 characters
