That's weird. It's sort of an inverse revert. There are a bunch of other
fairly obvious ways to do this fairly unusual operation, so I'm not sure
if it makes sense to add a new feature for it. For instance:

hg diff > foo
hg qpop
patch < foo 
# or hg import --no-commit foo

or:

hg qpop
hg import --no-commit .hg/patches/`hg qnext`
