I know that git makes it trivially easy to rebase through file renames, and I expect hg has similar abilities. Moreover, I would be shocked if the actual changes conflicted with their patches, as I only touched the import statements at the top of the file. Worst case, it would be one or two lines to fix up, right?
No, the mq workflow is keeping patches on disk. When they're applied, they're commits, but when they're not, they're patches. You generally can't do anything like a rebase while patches are applied, so you don't get any help on things like renames.
