At Sage Days 7, Jason Grout gave a talk on Mercurial queues, and I have
been a devoted user ever since. They have made the Sage-related part of
my life significantly happier.
I have been meaning to add a section on this to the programming guide,
and that might still happen some day. In the mean time, see Jason's
wiki notes (describing two frequent scenarios) at
http://wiki.sagemath.org/MercurialQueues
and the relevant parts of the official Mercurial docs:

To answer your question more precisely, the command qfold allows one to
fold several patches into one. I have just added a typical scenario
describing this to Jason's notes on the wiki.
Best,
Alex
