Let's say you do hg status and you have three files modified. I know how to check in all three files (hg commit). But how can you check in (and then hg push) just one of the modified files?

4You're right it's been asked before but the prevailing answers on that one are pretty awful. MQ and Shelve make no sense if you just want to commit a single file.

Agree with Ry4an, though the question is the same, those answers are no good.

A:
Just do:
hg ci -I path/to/file -m "commited only one file"
That commits only one file, and you can push it, and none of the uncommitted changes will be affected.

you should also be able to do it just like you would in svn: hg commit -m "here is my message" path/to/file

A:
Please check the output of hg help commit which reveals that you can do
hg commit foo.c
if you just want to commit a single file. This is just like Subversion and many other systems -- no hocus-pocus :-)

A:
On the off chance you're running on Windows, TortoiseHG, the graphical Mercurial interface, lets you select which files to commit every time.
