Hi,

is there an easy way to export last n commits into a new mq queue and strip the commits from the real repository?

I do often start out developing a new feature, later realising I did something wrong/would want to use MQ to fold patches.

I am currently doing:

  1. Export last n commits as single patches
  2. Strip last n commits
  3. create new mq
  4. import all patches in reverse order
+6  A: 

It's simple (as long as there are no merges):

hg qimport -r base:tip

And voilà.

Your tip has served me well up until now. However I just hit the caveat you mentioned (as long as there are no merges). What can I do in this case?
