Something else such docs could cover is how to manage remote Hg repos such that 
the "Create Patch" button does the right thing.

Basically, you need to make sure an appropriate CPython version is found in the 
ancestors of the tip your working branch. This is most easily achieved either 
by working directly on the default branch in your remote repo, or else by 
merging directly from default to your feature branch (i.e. not via another 
feature branch).

If you don't follow this rule, the generated patch will occasionally 
incorrectly revert changes in CPython that you didn't intend to affect.
