histedit: add a hint about enabled dropmissing to histedit edit comment Adds a hint to histedit comment reminding user about enabled dropmissing. This will make the enabled dropmissing more visible. The example comment: # Edit history between b592564a803c and b54649a8a63f # # Commits are listed from least to most recent # # You can reorder changesets by reordering the lines # # Commands: # # e, edit = use commit, but stop for amending # m, mess = edit commit message without changing commit content # p, pick = use commit # b, base = checkout changeset and apply further changesets from there # d, drop = remove commit from history # f, fold = use commit, but combine it with the one above # r, roll = like fold, but discard this commit's description # # Deleting a changeset from the list will DISCARD it from the edited history!

Mercurial's default format for showing changes between two versions of
a file is compatible with the unified format of GNU diff, which can be
used by GNU patch and many other standard tools.
While this standard format is often enough, it does not encode the
following information:
- executable status and other permission bits
- copy or rename information
- changes in binary files
- creation or deletion of empty files
Mercurial also supports the extended diff format from the git VCS
which addresses these limitations. The git diff format is not produced
by default because a few widespread tools still do not understand this
format.
This means that when generating diffs from a Mercurial repository
(e.g. with :hg:`export`), you should be careful about things like file
copies and renames or other things mentioned above, because when
applying a standard diff to a different repository, this extra
information is lost. Mercurial's internal operations (like push and
pull) are not affected by this, because they use an internal binary
format for communicating changes.
To make Mercurial produce the git extended diff format, use the --git
option available for many commands, or set 'git = True' in the [diff]
section of your configuration file. You do not need to set this option
when importing diffs in this format or using them in the mq extension.
