How to merge only changes of certain files of a given changeset into a working copy?

that's quite a hassle, indeed...

Yeah, well, that's a point you might argue with ClearCase guys for 
hours... They are so used to their spec-files that's hard to beat! I guess 
the equivilant to that must be a local clone or branch, but still - am 
afraid there is no way to reflect this in hg...

So, I guess to achieve a scenario like the following:

 /repo/tool1
 /repo/tool2
 /tepo/tool3

where you want to merge only changes related to tool1, you would have to 
organize it in seperate repos:

 /repo1/tool1
 /repo2/tool2
 /repo3/tool3

Every tool gets its own repo and you are fine, since an update to one tool 
doesn't affect the other two.

A concenptual thing, that's what it really is.

Thanks for the reponse.
