[issue3283] command to turn the top mq patch into working directory changes

[Ben Schmdit]

New submission from Ben Schmdit <insightful_schmidt at yahoo.com.au>:

It would be nice to have a command to turn the topmost mq patch into changes
in the working directory (i.e. no longer a changeset or patch under mq
control, but the changes still present). This means you can then selectively
commit files or use hg record to split it into multiple changesets or
patches. At the moment I am trialling this hacky shell script to do it for me:

#!/bin/bash
# a shell script implementation of possible 'hg qforget' command
# which turns the topmost mq patch into working directory changes
PATCH="`hg qapplied | tail -1`"
QUEUE="`hg qqueue --active`"
ROOT="`hg root`"
if [ ! "$QUEUE" = patches ] ; then
   QUEUE="patches-$QUEUE"
fi
hg qpop && \
hg import --no-commit "$ROOT/.hg/$QUEUE/$PATCH" && \
hg qdelete "$PATCH"
