Fwd: Advantages of MQ over vanilla hg

[Ben Hood]

Excellent, it even handles a rename after an edit (e.g. edit b then
rename to c):

gr8:~/hgtest f00bar$ date >> b
gr8:~/hgtest f00bar$ hg mv b c
gr8:~/hgtest f00bar$ hg qrefresh --git
gr8:~/hgtest f00bar$ more .hg/patches/foo
this is just a foo message

diff --git a/a b/c
rename from a
rename to c
--- a/c
+++ b/c
