There is this: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/mlvm/mlvm/file/1ecfbcb08379/README.txt

MQ is also discussed in various semi-official places:

http://hgbook.red-bean.com/read/advanced-uses-of-mercurial-queues.html

http://hgbook.red-bean.com/read/mercurial-queues-reference.html

I am (at Oracle) new to working on JDK, MLVM, and with MQ, though I am pretty happy with Mercurial, and I found this a little intimidating, and in theory it is one of my tasks to clean this up and make it less intimidating.

By-the-way, what version of Mercurial are you using?
And are you primarily Mac, Linux, or PC people?
(If you use a Mac and MacPorts, it turns out that one of the not-well-supported extensions, hg-forest, is part of the package.  I have not tested it yet to see if it has really been maintained.)
