The fundamental thing to understand about MQ is that an applied patch IS
A CHANGESET. Thus all commands that can show the diff of an existing
changeset will work, no special MQ-specific commands are necessary.

So you can use:

- hg log -vpr <rev>
- hg diff -c <rev>
- hg export <rev>
- hg outgoing -p

etc..
