Thanks for the suggestions. I think I'll stick with patches for the
moment and move to using branches when I'm feeling more confident. 

One last thing: does anyone know how to prevent Mercurial from
including binary file diffs when running diff or export by default? I'm
using -X, but would prefer to have it set somewhere:

$ hg diff -r 178 -r tip -X '*.db' > tip.patch

Thanks
