The patches are analyzed and, if they look ok, merged into the master repository. +A script called hg-pull-req.pl is included that will generate this +request, providing a list of patches that will be pulled, links to each +patch, and a diffstat of the all patches. It will work best if Hg has +been configured with the correct username (also used by the commit +message generator) and push path.
