With 'hg record', is there a way to automatically look at all changes in all files?

hg record is very useful for splitting the changes in your working copy into multiple commits.

When you run hg record, it will ask you for each modified file:

examine changes to '<file>'? [Ynesfdaq?]

and if you say yes, then for each change in the file:

record change X/Y to '<file>'? [Ynesfdaq?]

However, I often find that I could complete the operation much more efficiently by automatically being shown all changes (i.e. as if I said y to every question of the first form). Basically, I want to see all changed hunks and make yes/no decisions about them, without the distraction of intervening examine changes to <file>? questions (to which I would always say yes).

Is there to get hg record way to do this?

I find the CRecord Extension invaluable for this. It gives a curses based UI for the record command, and allows you to get a much better overview of all your changes. It also allows you to select down to line resolution, rather than just each hunk.
