Let's summarize this another way:
# stashing
git> git stash save "work in progress"
hg> hg qnew stash-work-in-progress
hg> hg qpop

# restoring
git> git stash apply
hg> hg qpush
hg> hg qfinish tip
patch stash-work-in-progress finalized without changeset message
hg> hg strip -k tip

Not very intuitive either, but at least easier to remember. This solution
is better in a way that it doesn't require me to remember the name of the
patch with stash, but worse, because I can forget to specify -k argument
one day and lose changes. I also did not understand how can it be so that
it is not necessary to do `qfinish` before `strip -k`? From what I can see
`strip` doesn't work with queues.
