It should be an internal storage format, but mq is missing a qexport
function, which means that to send back a patch, one has to manually
copy it from .hg/patches/.

If all mq management could be done without the user needing to manualy
delve in .hg/patches/, from end-to-end, then we could well use whatever
patch format.

And, on top of that, I see that whatever lays in .hg/ belongs to Mercurial,
and the end user should *not* have to go in there (except maybe for hgrc).
