It's a good idea to use a mercurial queues, which bring sanity to working on patches. Mercurial queues are explained in O'Sullivan's book, which are online: http://hgbook.red-bean.com/ as well as the doc patches in #8108 and #8147. But to get started, clone sage: $ sage -clone work This will create a subdirectory of the sage root directory called devel/sage-work. Here $ is command line prompt. In the directory devel/sage-work you can start a mercurial queue with the command $ hg qinit -c Then you can start a new patch with the command $ hg qnew or you can import an existing patch that you want to work on with $ hg qimport [patchname]. The patches are in the directory devel/sage-work/.hg/patches .
