I'm confused about this, if use hg revert -r tip, the current working directory 
will become tip revision, won't that lose all the merge change?

I had some try, but seems I've not understood all the processing yet.
I do:
hg qinit
copy /a.patch .hg/patches
edit .hg/series and add a.patch
hg qnew a.patch
now seems the patch became a new revision.
then
hg qrefresh    
    error, python trace
hg strip		
    error, python trace
seems I need to study more.

Thank you.
