Thanks guys. I was definitely using hg_sagenb.apply() and not hg_sagenb.commit(), so I am not sure why it was asking me to commit. The only difference from what you say Jonathan was that I was applying the patches from a local directory and not an http:, so I doubt that makes a difference. I will play with it some more tonight and see if I can get somewhere.
