> As for MQ, I've really tried to understand it, but it's just profoundly awkward IMHO. Mercurial's main benefit is that it's much easier to use and understand than git, so if I'm going to need to fire up the extra brainpower, I might as well learn git where these advanced patterns are extremely commonplace. I've almost never seen anyone using MQ or rebase with mercurial.

I believe the GP's reference to mq is for the strip command (to delete unwanted revisions), which for some odd reason that I've never understood is part of the mq extension.
