hg log --patch can output the same information than export, but the latter is designed to export revisions and has the following properties:
- log can display the branch name, parent nodeid, current nodeid, date, etc... But export serialize them in a way usable by the import command
- export let you dispatch multiple revisions in multiple files. This is currently necessary since import won't handle multiple patches in a single file in a satisfying manner.

hg export 10:15

Again you want to user the --output option when using this.
