The "push" will (at least in the common (ie in my) case) be a submission 
to upstream to a project with a centralized VCS. As good citizens the 
submission should play by the rules of a centralized VCS, not by the 
rules that applies when you use Mercurial.

So IMHO it is just fine that the hg commit history (with commit dates 
and author) not is used on submission. Instead I would like to make a 
new commit message when I push one or more mercurial changes upstream. 
That is already possible with hgsvn. What I need is a way to 
syncronize/merge the mercurial changeset I pushed with the corresponding 
changeset I will get when I pull a moment later.
