I think that might not work with their workflow in which each one manages his 
own set of patches in a seperate branch. 

You can add the patches to a temporary clone and then export them as patches 
and import them into a branch.  

Something like the following (tmp_repo is your temporaty clone for pulling, 
branched_repo is your repo in which you work in your own branch): 

for each new REV: 
	cd branched_repo
	cd ../temp_repo ; hg export REV1 > patch; cd ../branched_repo
	hg import ../temp_repo/patch

It should be quite easy to automate this loop (for example "hg id -n" give 
sthe current workdir revision). 

Also I'm sure there's a more elegant way, but this one was the first which 
came to my mind :) 

Best wishes,
