That's what "vc-dwim --commit" does (though only from the command line): http://hg.et.redhat.com/hg/emd/applications/vc-dwim?f=97cd8156ef24;file=README;style=raw You can check out the sources with this: hg clone http://hg.et.redhat.com/hg/emd/applications/vc-dwim Note that the package also includes Ralf Wildenhues' vc-chlog program, which generates ChangeLog entries from a working directory with diffs relative to a version control system (any of cvs, hg, git, svn).
