Some mq questions

Hello everyone,
It has been a while since I felt I had to turn to this list, simply
because I'm doing extremely well with HG.... thanks for that.
So what changed.... well, I'm trying to get a grasp on the mq-extension.
It happens a lot that I'm working on some changes on the pc at my
office, then I want to finish some things on my laptop at home. In order
to synchronize the pc and my laptop until now I explicitly commited
changes. Since these are not 'full changesets' in the sense that they
represented 'finished' changes, I do a bunch of rollbacks on both sides
until I finish the changes at either end. Obviously using mq is much,
much better suited for the job. If only I could figure out how to
synchronize a series of patches between my pc and laptop.
Currently I'm struggling with these questions (which are probably just
misunderstandings):
* is there any place with up-to-date documentation for mq? Both the WIKI
and the hg-book (even the web-version) seem outdated (they still refer
to things like hg qinit and hg qcommit which apparently are deprecated)
* I kind of expected that when I do 'hg qclone', my patch series would
get cloned as well. The cloned repository does have the .hg/patches
directory, but none of the patches get cloned, independent of whether
the patches were applied at the source and whether I do this locally or
through ssh.
* How should I synchronize patches between my pc and laptop? Is this
even possible to begin with?
Maybe I shouldn't pose four separate questions in one go, but in the end
I fear the latter are mainly due to a basic misunderstanding of queues,
hence the main questions then is where to find up-to-date documentation.
I'm currently using mercurial 1.8.2.
Sincerely,
Jakob van Bethlehem
