You can send Bram a bundle of your changes, see 'bundle' command at: http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hg.1.html#bundle For example using the command: hg bundle nikolai.hg http://vim.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/vim/vim The 'nikolai.hg' bundle file includes all the changesets not in Bram sourceforge repository. Assuming all your changes are in a branch, Bram may unbundle the 'nikolai.hg' file into his repository (or another working clone) and merge your branch into his code.
