Thanks, I shall do.

I also want to mention, that, besides Arne, there is one more HG user/developer who would like to test.

I did test both patches, and the external commit-patch on the GNU emacs repository, that I converted to HG. Conclusion your second patch using shelve and unshelve is considerably slower than your first patch and commit-patch (which I think was to be expected).

BTW, looking at your code, what is actually happen is that a temporary patch file generated, that is manipulated and later committed, that is why I am not sure that hg shelve -i
or git stash interactively could be easily implemented.


Thanks again for your efforts

Regards

Uwe
