queue top not at dirstate parents

[Dustin Sallings]

  Oh, right. I meant qtip when I said qparent.  Glad that didn't cause endless confusion.

  I think I may have failed to reproduce the issue because I am running a much newer version of hg.  In 0.9.4, it wouldn't allow me to perform some of these operations with patches applied.

  Generally, though, where I do use mq the most, I have a pull script that basically does this:

hg incoming && hg qpop -a && hg pull -u && hg qpush -a

  It's slightly more complicated, but that's the important part.  Note that incoming's exit code did not indicate the presence of patches before 0.9.4.

This is version 0.9.1

Thanks for the suggestion, Dustin.  That's what I did, I think.
I updated to the revision given as the queue top, and then was
able to qpop.

The key intuitive thing that I was missing before was that the
mq patches are not part of the repository -- or at least not in
the same way.  They're local to that repository, but not published
by it.  I was expecting them to show up in other repos after
pushing, pulling, updating.

(Certainly hgbook's Chapter 12 indicates this.  It just didn't
sink in for me until I started playing around.)
