I just realized, that I don’t have really good tools for doing that, especially
for doing it with already pushed changes. I could export, import --no-commit and
then record them all. Or I could read up on mq. In any case I would get a new
head and would have to close the old one.

Is there a nicer way to accomplish this?

Or will it only be available once we have phases/liquid? 

Best wishes, 
Arne

PS: It also just showed me that everyone has to edit recent history, if the
project wants clean history (instead of backing out commits or just branching
and merging/rebasing to have a clean path with two commits instead of one). And
that sending and reworking patches is inconsistent with sacred history. It would
be nice to have better tools to do the reworking. I think liquid could help a
lot (being able to share unfinished changes and rework them publicly till they
get frozen).
