hg record [OPTION]... [FILE]...

interactively select changes to commit

    If a list of files is omitted, all changes reported by "hg status"

    will be candidates for recording.

    See 'hg help dates' for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.

    You will be prompted for whether to record changes to each

    modified file, and for files with multiple changes, for each

    change to use.  For each query, the following responses are

    possible:

    y - record this change

    n - skip this change

    s - skip remaining changes to this file

    f - record remaining changes to this file

    d - done, skip remaining changes and files

    a - record all changes to all remaining files

    q - quit, recording no changes

    ? - display help

options:

 -A --addremove  mark new/missing files as added/removed before committing

 -I --include    include names matching the given patterns

 -X --exclude    exclude names matching the given patterns

 -m --message    use <text> as commit message

 -l --logfile    read commit message from <file>

 -d --date       record datecode as commit date

 -u --user       record user as committer

use "hg -v help record" to show global options
