Re: mercurial user: how do you rebase or merge using emacs?

Well yes and no (at least for hg).
Steps:

    1. vc-merge

    2. I am asked for a version to merge.

    3. I obtain 
Running "merge 5"...
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
(branch merge, don't forget to commit)

(5 because hg has also local rev numbers beside HASHES)

But the commit that is needed, cannot be done my vc, at least I am unable, 
vc-dir  gives.

VC backend : Hg
Working dir: ~/HGTest/Branches/Named/
Parent     : 6:d1ccbfd46e4e tip
           :  Seven
Parent     : 5:1cd3b49213c7 
           :  Six
Branch     : default
Commit     : 1 modified (merge)
Update     : (current)
Phases     : 7 draft

                         ./
    edited               test.org

But when I select, as usual the edit file and run vc-next-action I obtain 


Running "commit -m Merge

 test.org"...
abort: cannot partially commit a merge (do not specify files or patterns)

Well so I repeat the operation without selecting a file, I obtain

So I am confused



-- 
I strongly condemn Putin's war of aggression against the Ukraine.
I support to deliver weapons to Ukraine's military. 
I support the ban of Russia from SWIFT.
I support the EU membership of the Ukraine.
