I had a little look, and I'm not sure how it helps.

What I want to do is:

1. hg clone crew my-crew; cd my-crew
2. hg qinit -c
3. hg pull -R .hg/patches windows-test-patches
4. hg qpush -a
5. ---> now start a new queue - no idea how to do this!
6. hg qnew my.first.patch
7. edit, qrefresh, qnew, etc etc.
8. ---> now I want to update the windows patches:
    hg qpop -a (this should be just my stuff)
    switch back to windows test patches
    hg pull -R .hg/patches windows-test-patches
    hg qpush -a
    switch back to my stuff
    hg qpush -a

and when I want to post my patches, hg email -r qbase:qtip without
needing to worry that I post many win-test patches.

The next problem is for me to copy my patch series to a clean crew
clone, without the windows testing patches applied.

If someone can give me some ideas on simplifying these scenarios, that
would be really helpful.

(Hmm, maybe just pushing a dummy patch called something like myparent
would do - then I could qpop myparent, or hg diff myparent:qtip, or
whatever. Is that plausible?)

Paul.
