I work on maintaining the same e-commerce web-app for multiple customers.
Originally there was a standard set of pages from which all the rest of the customers customizations were derived in the past.
Recently the place where I work decided to use Mercurial for version control. They've also decided to re-work the standard set of pages for our e-commerce and make them a main-line/base-line of development.
That being said there are existing customizations for each of our customers that were made before the base-line set of pages, which have not been entered into version control (hg) yet.
What is the best way to merge the changes from the base-line of development into a separate line of development for each of our customers while we keep the existing customizations for each customer?
