Just to weigh in: I dislike this just because I think it unreasonably
complicates the UI. It adds an option to a large number of commands,
complicating documentation for each of those commands. I also think
only a relatively small part of the mq-using population does actually
version their MQ (other than maybe doing qcommit just for the
backups). I also agree a separate 'mq' command is probably not the
best solution, although at least that variant doesn't complicate hg
itself.

It's a hard UI issue, and I'm not sure what the best solution here is.
The best option I can think of right now is a hg
qrepo/qcontrol/qsomething that has --push, --pull, --status and maybe
a few other useful actionable options (though that's somewhat ugly
because the acceptable option set changes somewhat based on what's in
it).

Cheers,

Dirkjan
