There are ways to do this, but they're not clean and they're really not consistent with the way mercurial was intended to be used. Suppose head is a clone. Clone head to changed. Mangle changed, possibly generating lots of history. Now clone head to synthesized, and manually patch synthesized to agree with changed. Then generate a single commit from synthesized, and apply it to head. That shrinks the history. There is also an hg extension to do this slightly more cleanly, called transplant. And hgq can do this too, in a different way. I wanted to do this a few times, so I talked to the #hg folks. The upshot? Don't do it -- it's almost always the wrong way to get hg to do what you want.
