I have an existing queue directory with a number patches already in it. I am about to fold them into a single commit but I would like to preserve the original patches before I do that. How can I do that?
This is what I tried so far:
$ hg ci --mq
abort: no queue repository
Then, since I have enough knowledge to be dangerous, I tried to create the patch repository manually:
$ cd .hg/patches/
/Users/me/Code/my-project/.hg/patches
$ hg init
$ cd -
/Users/me/Code/my-project
But when I try to commit, it won't let me:
$ hg ci --mq
nothing changed
The patch repository can be deleted if the solution requires it. It's empty so that's safe to do.
