Yes you can push only one patch, if you 'guard' patches with symbolic
names.  You can even have a patch queue with the guards:

    PATCH         GUARD
    foo           stable
    bar           experimental
    baz           stable

and using "hg qpush -a" when the "stable" guard is selected will push
foo, skip bar and push baz.

See the help of the "qguard" and "qselect" commands, and the Mercurial
book for more details.

By using "hg qcommit" to save the state of patches and then "hg qclone",
or just "hg clone" on the .hg/patches directory.
