Are you sure obliterate is the right thing to use here? According to the
help:
"Obliterate completely removes recorded patches from your local repository.
The changes will be undone in your working copy and the patches will not be
shown in your changes list anymore."
The "changes will be undone in your working copy" bit makes me think that
it'll do a little too much damage to the repository. I think 'unrecord' is
more the sort of thing that you'd want. I note that 'unrecord' takes the
same -p option, which makes your unique string suggestion still workable.
