Re: [support]: changing author of a commit when rewriting history
Thanks you all. I ended up using hg metaedit.

Re: [support]: changing author of a commit when rewriting history
Thanks for providing a way forward! I'll use that. As a avid user of histedit --interactive, it felt natural to look for author and timestamp editing there. Maybe I'll try to hack a proposal for its inclusion someday. Thanks again.

[support]: changing author of a commit when rewriting history
Hi, sorry for taking over the list, I have a lame support question. I am struggling to find a way to change the author of a commit. I do a lot of history rewriting, and "hg histedit --interactive" is invaluable in this regard.

In this case my history is "peculiar": linear DAG, but with different named branches interleaved, like this: o changeset: 3:z | branch: branch1 | user:authorY | o changeset: 2:y | branch: branch2 | user:authorX | o changeset: 1:x | branch: branch1 | user:authorToBeChanged Mq was probably not designed for this use case, and keeps messing with my named "branches".
