Any way to prevent Evolve's `metaedit` from opening the message?

Yeah, I think metaedit was created as an ad-hoc solution to edit commit 
messages, and then grew some flags for user and date, and even --fold 
for some reason. Internally it can prevent editor from opening (e.g. 
when -m or -l is present), but there's no way to do it from CLI. It's 
not a very well-designed command IMO.

Anyway, to disable editor try `HGEDITOR=true hg metaedit ...`.
