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?
