Working with new contributors, you'll often have them try to update a revision and end up creating a new one. While there are many causes for this, one I have run into multiple times is the footgun that is hg commit --amend -m "..."

The problem with that command is that it silently will nuke the Differential Revision: ... line in a commit message, causing moz-phab to just create a new revision on re-submission.

Another option would be to automatically copy the Differential Revision: ... line from the old to the new commit description.
