commands to interactively select changes for commit/qrefresh (DEPRECATED)

# Description

The feature provided by this extension has been moved into core Mercurial as `hg commit --interactive`.

# Commands

## Change creation

### qrecord

interactively record a new patch:

    hg qrecord [OPTION]... PATCH [FILE]...

See `hg help qnew` & `hg help record` for more information and usage.

### record

interactively select changes to commit:

    hg record [OPTION]... [FILE]...

If a list of files is omitted, all changes reported by `hg status` will be candidates for recording.

See `hg help dates` for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.

If using the text interface (see `hg help config`), you will be prompted for whether to record changes to each modified file, and for files with multiple changes, for each change to use. For each query, the following responses are possible:

    y - record this change
    n - skip this change
    e - edit this change manually

    s - skip remaining changes to this file
    f - record remaining changes to this file

    d - done, skip remaining changes and files
    a - record all changes to all remaining files
    q - quit, recording no changes

    ? - display help
