Just to make it clear: will this actually change anything in Mercurial 
(which then should be documented and tested?), or is it just something 
TortoiseHg could benefit from?

Does this mean that patches will be pushed back to the branch they were 
qref'ed/qpop'ed from? If so: Is that an acceptable change, and will we 
then need some way of overruling this in order to be able to move 
patches from one branch to another?
