Remove all deleted files in next commit with Mercurial

Question

Let's say I have the current status:

M File1.cs
M File2.cs
M File3.cs
! File4.cs
! File5.cs
! File6.cs

How do I bulk remove files 4, 5, 6 (!) from the next commit?

At the moment, I am just removing them manually before committing, like such:

hg remove File4.cs
hg remove File5.cs
hg remove File6.cs

But is there a way to remove them all at one go ?

`remove --after` is probably better (doesn't add files) – tonfa Jul 24 '10 at 23:04
good point. I voted for close on the dupe, but you should add that answer anyway. – Ry4an Brase Jul 25 '10 at 03:21

hg remove --after

...is probably better (doesn't add files)

This is taken straight from the comment by tonfa in the accepted answer. I'm adding it because it was never added as a separate Answer.

try the hg help system

hg help

and you will get the command in the beginning:

list of commands:
  add           add the specified files on the next commit
  addremove     add all new files, delete all missing files
  ...

so you can use

hg addremove
