I've never been able to get the Create Patch button to work reliably with my BitBucket repo, so I still just run "hg diff -r default" locally and upload the patch directly. Wouldn't it be simpler to just use MQ and upload the patch(es) from the series? Would be easier to keep in sync with the development tip too.

From my (admittedly limited) experience, using MQ means I can only effectively collaborate with other people also using MQ (e.g. the Roundup integration doesn't work if the only thing that is published on BitBucket is a patch queue). I'll stick with named branches until MQ becomes a builtin Hg feature that better integrates with other tools.

Cheers, Nick.
