[issue395] "hg import" can't handle multiple changesets per file

[Thomas Arendsen Hein]

New submission from Thomas Arendsen Hein <thomas at intevation.de>:

reported by Josh Triplett in 8/2005, the problem is still there, but now that we
have a python based patch implementation around the corner, maybe this could be
solved easier:
| If you do "hg export 1 2 3 > file.patch", file.patch will contain a set
| of hg changesets in exported form, including the hg header comment
| before each.  However, "hg import file.patch" will ignore all but the
| first header, and treat the entire file as a representation of that one
| changeset.  In my case, this caused three large changesets to be
| committed as one changeset, amusingly titled "formatting fixes". :)
