Transplant into workspace without commiting

hg transplant always results in a new changeset in your repository.

However, you could:

1. Use hg export and hg import --no-commit instead OR
2. Use hg transplant and then hg strip if you don't like the changeset

Found this question when searching for "graft without commit".

I've found I can do what I want by updating to the changeset where I want the changes to be on top of, then using the "hg revert" command.

So if I have changeset "R1" then I commit a "R2" I can put the R2 changes back into the working directory by doing:

• hg update -r R1 <-- (this puts your working directory in exact state you want to start from)
• hg revert --all -r R2 <-- (this applies the changes in R2 to the working directory, without committing those changes)

You can then strip the R2 changeset if you want or do whatever you want.
