BTW: Does anyone know if it's possible to just pick a patch from a HG branch to another? STG (Stacked GIT) has nice 'stg pick <branch>@<patch>' command for this.
hg update -C dest-branch hg transplant -b source-branch revision
But I must say that using branches in hg is rather painful. We tried it for a while at my workplace and switched to using cloned repos for branches (mostly). We had several instances of bad things happening because of the way hg handled branches, and when those things got pushed it was often very difficult to get the repo back to a decent state. In my opinion git handles branches much better than hg does.
