You don't use emacsclient? I can't fathom why anyone would ever exit Emacs.

No need to revert, just list the files you want to commit in "hg commit".

hg crecord (https://bitbucket.org/edgimar/crecord/wiki/Home) is the curses

thg commit also works like this, but it is hopelessly slow for me. Maybe

Others mentioned qct.

My favorite interfaces for this sort of thing are "egg" (Emacs mode for
Git) and "git citool" (in core git).
