``patch``
    An optional external tool that ``hg import`` and some extensions
    will use for applying patches. By default Mercurial uses an
    internal patch utility. The external tool must work as the common
    Unix ``patch`` program. In particular, it must accept a ``-p``
    argument to strip patch headers, a ``-d`` argument to specify the
    current directory, a file name to patch, and a patch file to take
    from stdin.

    It is possible to specify a patch tool together with extra
    arguments. For example, setting this option to ``patch --merge``
    will use the ``patch`` program with its 2-way merge option.
