emacs hg-histedit and an alias

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi
I use histedit quite a bit, but use the following alias (not sure where
I obtainted it from)

histed = !TMP=$($HG root) $HG histedit "$@"

hg histed

Starts histedit but from the directory I start the command, so the
editor (gnuclient my case) acts in that directory and not in /tmp which
is the default

So my simple question is, what would be the command line aquivalent of
that command

 hg !TMP=$($HG root) $HG histedit "$@"

Does not work

Rationale:

I use hg-histedit an emacs package that allows me to run hg histedit
from emacs.

The corresponding lisp code is 
(defcustom hg-histedit-executable "hg"
  "Executable for hg."
  :type 'string
  :group 'hg-histedit)

And then:



                          `(,hg-histedit-executable "histedit" "--rev" ,changeset)
                        `(,hg-histedit-executable "histedit"))))

So I tried to use 
                         `(,hg-histedit-executable "!TMP=$($HG root) $HG histedit \"$@\"" "--rev" ,changeset)
                       `(,hg-histedit-executable "!TMP=$($HG root) $HG histedit \"$@\""))))

But this did not works since 
 hg !TMP=$($HG root) $HG histedit "$@"

Doe not work neither 

But also my alias was ignored:


                          `(,hg-histedit-executable "histed" "--rev" ,changeset)
                        `(,hg-histedit-executable "histed"))))


So how can I run the alias directly from the command line?
