Wx backup is handy when I send binary relief to customer and then play
wit the source some more. I want to have simple way of returning back to
the source I gave customer.
If I would have to do this in mercurial, I would use MQ. But backup is
more elegant, since I do not need to qinit/qnew and constantly qrefresh
my repository.

Backup files itself, then .hg/data/files.i and .hg/dirstate ? Plus
.hg/patches to save MQ. But looking in .hg we will need probably more
