How to maintain 2 same repositories in different OSes?

Question

I have a cloned Mercurial remote repo on Linux.

Some features I work on need to be tested on Windows also.

So, I cloned the same remote repo in both Linux and Windows. They are the same repositories, which must have the same changes I make. The source code always must remain the same on both Windows and Linux. Just to test and debug, I'll need to work atop my Linux changes on Windows and vice-versa.

Can someone suggest a good workflow?

I have basic experience with using Mercurial Queues.

You should be able to push/pull directly from the Windows to the Linux repository and vice versa, assuming you have a network connection between the computers.

You can enter an abbreviation for the path of the other repository in your ~/.hgrc or in each repository's .hg/hgrc in the [paths] section so that you don't always have to enter it in full.
