Hi John, Here is what I do, although it's probably not the right way to do things: after hg export qtip, I load the resulting patch file in emacs and insert the commit message by hand. More precisely, I replace the first line after the hg "comments", which just says [mq] something, with a reasonable commit message. If I have time and am not sleep deprived (so, basically never) this also gives me a chance to have a last look over the patch and see if I forgot anything -- my emacs displays diff files in a nice readable way, so it's fairly pleasant. Again, I'm not claiming this is "the right way" to do it, but it works for me and it's fairly quick.
