How to handle a merge problem

[Weijun Wang]

Maybe you should call "hg qpop -a" before pulling from the source.

I don't know how to fix a damaged repo, but you can always re-clone the 
repos to a new directory, and then copy your old .hg/patches directory 
to the new repo. Please do not copy the status file otherwise Mercurial 
might be confused. Then you should be able to qseries/qpush them.

Hope this helps.
