My thoughs is if there are 10 changesets, 0-9.
If we want to create a repository only include 7,8,9.
then we need to merge 0-7 to one changeset, and add 8,9.
so in the new repository, 0 is a changeset include all the change of 0-7, 
1,2 are the original 8.9.
the decription before 7 will lost, but 8,9 are keep.
to do this manually:
hg export 8 >/tmp/8.patch
hg export 9 >/tmp/9.patch
hg co -C 7
rm -rf .hg
hg init
hg add *
hg ci
hg import /tmp/8.patch
hg import /tmp/9.patch
