I've got a change that has some files that I initially created using hg cp source target
. However, looking at the diffs for these, the files ended up being so different that keeping the linkage with the source files makes for really hard-to-read diffs.
How can I break that link in my commit before I push this change upstream?
Discovered a method by experimentation. I don't know if this is the most efficient way, but it seems to work:
$ hg uncommit path/to/file
$ hg revert path/to/file
$ hg add path/to/file
$ hg amend
