Body
I'm looking for a counter-part of <code>git commit --amend</code> in Mercurial, i.e. a way to modify the commit which my working copy is linked to. The requirements for this amend-procedure are: <ul> <li>if possible, it should not require any extensions. It must not require non-default extensions, i.e. extensions which do not come with an official Mercurial installation.</li> <li>if the commit to amend is one head of my current branch, no new head should be created. If the commit is not head, a new head may be created.</li> <li>the procedure should be safe in a way that if for whatever reasons the amending fails, I want to have the same working copy and repository state restored as before the amending. With other words, if the amending itself can fail, there should be a fail-safe procedure to restore the working copy and repository state. I'm referring to "failures" which lie in the nature of the amend-procedure (like e.g. conflicts), not to file-system-related problems (like access restrictions, not being able to lock a file for writing, ...)</li> </ul> Update (1): <ul> <li>the procedure must be automatable, so it can be performed by a GUI client without any user interaction required.</li> </ul> Update (2): <ul> <li>files in the working directory must not be touched (there may be file system locks on certain modified files). This especially means, that a possible approach may at no point require a clean working directory.</li> </ul>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
