You can almost do it with the attached style file, but
changeset_printer's show_parents function doesn't quite match up. It's
tempting to make show_parents always give the first parent if -v is
passed:

hg out --style hgpatch -p -v /path/to/other

Of course, you could always do something like:

hg exp `hg out -q --template '{rev}\n' /path/to/other`

changeset = '# HG changset patch\n# User {author}\n# Date {date|hgdate}\n{branches}# Node ID {node}\n{parents}{desc}\n\n'
parent = '# Parent  {node}\n'
branch = '# Branch {branch}\n'
