Not that I know of.

I will try to check this. The current problem is not urgent, I exported
my recent changes cloned and merged that in, so that solved the problem
somehow, I just wanted to know for the future whether I made something
fundamental wrong?

For me the most important questions are these. 

    -  it is not necessary to use rebase.

    -  In my workflow I alwayscreate a bookmark for my changes. When I
      send a patch, I always have to send the whole branch (bookmark)


That is hg export -r 1::3 -o mypatch.patch

In my previous example. Is that  correct?

BTW even if I used named branches instead of bookmarks there is no
simple way to export a whole branch? As in  in my example

 hg export --branch uwe -o mypatch.patch

Does not exist?
