mercurial: commit -m "logmsg" command line: Emacs command

Hello

Coming from RCS, I thought that
vc-next-action in a file under HG control, it would be equivalent to run
 hg commit -m "logmsg"

From the command line. However it is not.
I tested it several times. I modify 2 files, but run vc-next-action only
in one of them. Hg status tells me the second is modified. When I push
to bitbucket only the one I run vc-next-action is pushed.

Is there any comment I did not try out? What do I miss?


Thanks

I believe it tries to behave in line with all other VC backends, and 
commit only the changes in the marked files (or the current file, in 
this example).

You should try M-x vc-dir, mark both files, and commit.
