[issue803] mq loses changes when creating patches with inexistant files

[Patrick Mézard]

New submission from Patrick Mézard <pmezard at gmail.com>:

Creating a patch referencing an non-existing file seems to capture working
directory changes but lose them afterwards.

$ hg init
$ echo a > a
$ hg add a
$ hg st
A a
$ hg qnew test b
b: No such file or directory
$ hg st
$ hg export tip
# HG changeset patch
