Your patch reminded me of that discussion, so I sent https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6125. I'm curious to hear what others think about `hg uncommit -i`. Should it ask you what to discard or what to keep? I can see arguments both ways.

Let's say you changed a line from "a" to "c" in the commit and you meant to change it to "b" in the commit and leave the change to "c" in the working copy. You'd be presented with this:

Can I work on this as a part as a follow up ? or should i make amends in this patch .
