Importing several 'backup versions' of text files into mercurial?

[Haszlakiewicz, Eric]

I don't know of any pre-written scripts to do this kind of thing.  I expect that any script will be highly dependent on exactly how your files are stored on your filesystem.  
You'll probably want to do things like specify the author (with -u) and the date (with -d).  If you're committing a single file at a time, I expect you'd end up with something like:
  hg commit -u "$(stat -c %U $file)" -d "$(stat -c %Y $file) 0" -m "...some commit message..." $file
but of course that assumes your "backup versions" have accurate timestamps and owners.
