hg metaedit [OPTION]... [[-r] REV]...

This command is provided by the evolve extension.

Edits the commit information for the specified revisions. By default, edits commit information for the working directory parent.

With --fold, also folds multiple revisions into one if necessary. In this case, the given revisions must form a linear unbroken chain.

Some examples:

Change the username for the working directory parent:

hg metaedit --user 'New User <new-email@example.com>'

Combine all draft revisions that are ancestors of foo but not of @ into one:
```
hg metaedit --fold 'draft() and only(foo,@)'
```
See `hg help phases` for more about draft revisions, and `hg help revsets` for more about the draft() and only() keywords.
