Basically, I think that roughly, hg_sage.<command> command is the same 
as going into

SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage/sage

and typing

% hg <command>

so hg_sage.commit() is the same as

% cd SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage/sage
% hg commit

etc.

DISCLAIMER: I don't ever do any patches from within sage.  I always work 
from the command line using hg.

You can do "hg help" or "hg help commit" to get brief help.  You can 
also look on http://mercurial.selenic.com/ or 
http://mercurial.selenic.com/guide/

Does that help?

Thanks,

Jason
