You can allways check the status of your workarea by doing $ hg status $ hg rm file... $ hg add file... $ hg commit There is no need to do a branch. Just export the patch like this: $ hg export tip > the_patch Send the_patch to me (or someone else willing to assist) and give me a few simple things to test to see if it works. When it works -- Share your commit by pushing them to the repo. $ hg push It is only then your work will be seen by others. If anything goes wrong up to this point you can always remove your workspace and start all over again. Drop me a line if you need more support.
