Sorry but your grep command returns an error :'(

In any case I presume you mean functions like this


(defun vc-hg-checkin (files comment)
  "Hg-specific version of `vc-backend-checkin'.
REV is ignored."
  (apply 'vc-hg-command nil 0 files
         (nconc (list "commit" "-m")
                (log-edit-extract-headers '(("Author" . "--user")
                                            ("Date" . "--date"))
                                          comment))))


So it is log-edit-extract-headers

I will play around a bit not sure that will work easily.
Thanks.
