mq extension - manage a stack of patches

This extension lets you work with a stack of patches in a Mercurial

repository. It manages two stacks of patches - all known patches, and applied

patches (subset of known patches).

Known patches are represented as patch files in the .hg/patches directory.

Applied patches are both patch files and changesets.

Common tasks (use "hg help command" for more details):

  create new patch                          qnew

  import existing patch                     qimport

  print patch series                        qseries

  print applied patches                     qapplied

  add known patch to applied stack          qpush

  remove patch from applied stack           qpop

  refresh contents of top applied patch     qrefresh

By default, mq will automatically use git patches when required to avoid

losing file mode changes, copy records, binary files or empty files creations

or deletions. This behaviour can be configured with:

  [mq]

  git = auto/keep/yes/no

If set to 'keep', mq will obey the [diff] section configuration while

preserving existing git patches upon qrefresh. If set to 'yes' or 'no', mq

will override the [diff] section and always generate git or regular patches,

possibly losing data in the second case.

list of commands:

 qapplied     print the patches already applied
