A question about using mq

[Seth Falcon]

Hi all,

I'd like to hear from folks using mq.

I recently started using quilt to help me manage some patches for a
project where I don't have commit rights to the (svn) repository.  I'm
really liking quilt, but it was a royal pain to get working on OS X,
and they don't seem very interested in improving things.  I've been
using hg some and liking it and would much prefer a nicely portable
Python-based solution :-)

I understand that mq requires an hg repository, but what isn't clear
to me is whether I can use mq in the same way that I use quilt (inside
an svn working copy of the upstream project) or not.

Comments?  Suggestions?
