The behaviour of qnew no longer conforms to the description on page 235
of "Mercurial, The Definitive Guide" due to the removal of the -f option
to this command.
This is a bad thing as it allows a user to inadvertently create a new
patch that contains changes that were intended for the current patch if
they forget to do a qrefresh before creating the new patch.
The original behaviour, that required the -f flag to be used if the user
intended any outstanding changes to be included in the new patch, is
considered (by me) to be superior to the new behaviour as it provides
the user with more flexibility and defends against unintended consequences.
