Like the others explained, piping/redirecting is the way to go. Just make sure you
don't try to pull that off in PowerShell, in which it is useless for binary data and
problematic for text. (Basically, stuff is converted to UTF-16 :-/ ).

Another way, which always works since it has an -o argument to specify output
filename, is to use hg export: hg export -r rev1 -r rev2 -o patch
