While I understand the usefulness of the diff feature, it is not useful to
everyone, e.g. those using almost exclusively ``commit -m message``.
Of course it would be nice if hg made it easier (a hgrc option, for example)
to do this.
BTW, I had not heard of hgeditor before, and wrote a small hg extension to
do what you want (with HG: prefix :) before I saw that others had already
replied with hgeditor. The extension had 10 lines of code.
