If you are working on branches you can merge your changes back into the 
trunk, (default branch), on your original repository, possibly cherry 
picking as you go.

If you are on a true clone of the repository you would need to *graft* 
your changes on - to quote the help:

~$ hg --help graft
hg graft [OPTION]... [-r] REV...

copy changes from other branches onto the current branch

     This command uses Mercurial's merge logic to copy individual 
changes from
     other branches without merging branches in the history graph. This is
     sometimes known as 'backporting' or 'cherry-picking'. By default, graft
     will copy user, date, and description from the source changesets.

     Changesets that are ancestors of the current revision, that have 
already
     been grafted, or that are merges will be skipped.

     If --log is specified, log messages will have a comment appended of the
     form:

       (grafted from CHANGESETHASH)

     If a graft merge results in conflicts, the graft process is 
interrupted so
     that the current merge can be manually resolved. Once all conflicts are
     addressed, the graft process can be continued with the -c/--continue
     option.

     Note:
       The -c/--continue option does not reapply earlier options.

     Returns 0 on successful completion.

options:

  -r --rev REV [+] revisions to graft
  -c --continue    resume interrupted graft
  -e --edit        invoke editor on commit messages
     --log         append graft info to log message
  -D --currentdate record the current date as commit date
  -U --currentuser record the current user as committer
  -d --date DATE   record the specified date as commit date
  -u --user USER   record the specified user as committer
  -t --tool VALUE  specify merge tool
  -n --dry-run     do not perform actions, just print output
     --mq          operate on patch repository

[+] marked option can be specified multiple times

use "hg -v help graft" to show more complete help and the global options

Hope that helps:
