That describes my usual procedure, which is why the wiki says "hg qnew -f" If you are disciplined enough to realize that you are going to fix something in the next N minutes, then by all means, go ahead and do hg qnew before starting your project. I think I've remembered to do that about 3 times in the last 1.5 years.
