The main things I worked on:

* Adding '--interactive' support to MQ's refreshing by using the record extension.  Dan, Patrick and I worked on this and made some good progress.  I think the end decision was that we're going to add a 'qadd' command with a bunch of flags that will let you add specific things to patches (and empty them out first if you want).

* Adding parent node IDs to MQ patches.  This will let us push patches more intelligently and use merge/rebase techniques to reduce conflicts.  It will also let us provide better diffs of patches for versioned MQ repos, since we'll know about changes in the patched files.

* Talking to a bunch of people about my hg-review extension and how to make it better.

Overall the sprint was great -- it was nice to finally be able to meet everyone face to face.  I'm looking forward to the next one!
