hg qrecord -- like record, but for mq I'm a former Darcs user, and I've discovered that it is very convenient to actually perform development using MQ first, and only when the patches are 'ready' move them to project's history in stone. Usually I work on some topic, temporarily forgetting about any version control, and just do coding, experimenting, debugging, etc. After some time, I approach a moment, where my work should actually go to patches/commits, and here is the problem:: As it is now, there is no way to put part of the changes into one patch, and another part of the changes into second patch. This works, but only when changes are touching separate files, and for semantically different changes touching the same file(s) there is now pretty way to put them into separate patches. For some time, I've tolerated the pain to run vim patches/... and move hunks between files by hand, but I think this affects my productivity badly. So, here is the first step towards untiing the problem: Let's use 'hg qrecord' for mq, like we use 'hg record' for usual commits!
