Mercurial queues: having patches shared by multiple queues?

Question

I have a local repo with two patch queues, patches and myproject. One is for bug fixes in the release branch, and one is for work on a separate project.

• patches: local-config debug bugfix1 bugfix2
• myproject: local-config myproject1 myproject2

I would like to have a single copy of the local-config patch which is shared by both queues. One possible solution is to symlink patches-myproject/local-config to ../patches/local-config.

Is there a more appropriate way to do this?

Answer 1

I don't think you can easily or safely share a patch between queues. You could consider having one queue and using guards to say which patches should be applied at any given time.
