Mercurial: multiline commit message on
the command line?
Hit enter.
$ hg commit -m "Did some work
> Now I'm done"
One of the things is that only the first line shows up in hg log:
$ hg log
changeset: 0:d2dc019450a2
tag: tip
user: Aaron Maenpaa <zacherates@gmail.com>
date: Sat Jan 24 07:46:23 2009 -0500
summary: Did some work
… but if you fire up “hg view” you can see that the whole message is there.
Edited to add:
… but hg -v log shows the whole message:
$ hg -v log
changeset: 0:d2dc019450a2
