How to commit only a specific folder Mercurial

Question

I am new on linux, and i really like it so far. But i have a problem with mercurial.

I have a folder that has 5 subfolder, each of them with a project. So i'm working at a project (a subfolder) and i want to commit modifications only from that folder.

So in linux what i did was:

cd /var/www/project_foder/subfolder

hg status //it brings all the modifications(also from other projects)

hg commit -m "Message"

but it commit all the project modifications.

How can i commit only from the selected folder modifications.

Thanks in advance for your answers!.

PS: sorry for my poor english

Is not duplicate, that post has solution for other problem What i need is to commit files from a certain folder. — Stefan C, Dec 11 '13 at 15:44
You can specify the name of a folder instead of the name of a file (mentioned in the answer). — Wooble, Dec 11 '13 at 16:01

You can specify the folder name as argument. You can also make hg status and hg commit apply to the current directory (and sub dirs) only by using a single dot as argument, e.g.:

cd /var/www/project_foder/subfolder
hg status .
hg commit -m "Message" .
