[issue1226] Mercurial 1.0.1: broken hg commit after hg merge

[Alexander Pevzner]

New submission from Alexander Pevzner <pzz at pzz.msk.ru>:

hg commit after hg merge doesn't accept list of files in parameters. If files
are specified, it fails with "cannot partially commit a merge (do not specify
files or patterns)".

Unfortunately this behavior is broken, if there are uncommitted changes which
you don't plan to commit at this time. hg commit after hg merge may commit
either all or nothing.

I suggest to implement a hg commit option which commits only merge changeset,
automatically computing list of affected files
