Revive commands.dispatch as a simple way to call hg from other pythons scripts. This was already used by hg-ssh and others and is really convenient if you just want a native equivalent of calling the command line version.

#!/bin/sh

echo "[extensions]" >> $HGRCPATH
echo "mq=" >> $HGRCPATH

hg init a
cd a
hg qnew first.patch
hg qnew first.patch

touch ../first.patch
hg qimport ../first.patch

exit 0
