 To force expansion after enabling it, or a configuration change, run
 "hg kwexpand".
 
+Also, when committing with the record extension or using mq's qrecord, be aware
+that keywords cannot be updated. Again, run "hg kwexpand" on the files in
+question to update keyword expansions after all changes have been checked in.
+
 Expansions spanning more than one line and incremental expansions,
 like CVS' $Log$, are not supported. A keyword template map
 "Log = {desc}" expands to the first line of the changeset description.
