This is what I've done to date:

In my original work directory I had a set of changes that I didn't to
anything with regarding Mercurial (other than the original fclone).  I
was asked to make a patch so I did the following:

cd ...\jdk7\jdk
hg init --mq  // creates patch directory
hg add subdirs/file_name // add new file (for each of n files)
hg status // sanity check what's been added/modified
hg qnew -f patch_name // create the patch, -f needed the first time
... edit ...
hg qrefresh

Then I wanted to test the transfer of the patch (and I also wanted to
start with the latest code) so I did the following

md/cd c:\OpenJDK // a new directory
hg fclone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/ jdk7
cd ...\jdk7\jdk
hg init --mq  // creates patch directory
hg qimport full_path_of_patch
hq qpush patch_name

The username might have been the old one when I did the first fclone,
but I had changed it by the time I created the patch (about a week ago).
