At the very least we need to maintain the patches/ dir for backwards
compatibility. There was also a suggestion to hide most of it away in a
separate directory, but others were fine with just reserving
.hg/patches* to mq. There are, of course, advantages and disadvantages
to both solutions. :o)

I don't think it matters much if you have to write vim
.hg/patches-foo/series or vim .hg/mq/foo/series (and we'd still need to
have .hg/patches for backwards compatibility at any rate).
