What you probably want  (or at least what  I am using to do such things)
is Mercurial's  built-in "mq" extension  (for "Mercurial Queues").  This
extension allows you  to develop patches which are  kept in a local sub-
repository and to easily push them to  or pop them off your local repos-
itory.  You can then send these patches upstream or merge them into your
BitBucket fork.

"Fork" and "pull request" are BitBucket terms describing mechanisms all-
owing multiple  developers  to contribute  to a source code  repository.
"Clone" is the Mercurial or Git term for a copy of a repository.

It's probably always  a good idea to read  some sort of tutorial  before
really using any piece of software :-)

Mercurial itself comes with several manual pages,  "hg.1", "hgignore.5",
"hgrc.5", and "hg-ssh.8".   If you really want to work  with Mercurial I
would recommend the book by Bryan O'Sullivan, "Mercurial: The Definitive
Guide", O'Reilly, 2009.  This book can be read online here:

   http://hgbook.red-bean.com/read/

It's perhaps a bit more  than just a simple tutorial,  and there doesn't
seem to be a more recent edition.  This means that newer developments of
Mercurial are not yet covered by this book :-(

But it covers most what you need and in particular Mercurial Queues.

Sincerely,
  Rainer
