> 
>     * If a patch currently has old, plain-style patch headers ("From:" and
>       "Date:") do not change the style or add any new headers.
> 
>     * If the 'mq.plain' configuration setting is true, only plain-style
>       headers will be used for all MQ patches.
> 
>     * qnew will initialize new patches with HG-style headers and fill in the
>       "# Parent" header with the appropriate parent node.
> 
>     * qrefresh will refresh the "# Parent" header with the current parent of
>       the current patch.
> 
> Tests have been updated to reflect the new behavior and test it.

Thanks!

Could you document the option in hgrc.5.txt, and perhaps refactor the patchheader thing?
