But you don't need to add all of src/. In fact, you could keep src
in .hgignore and only selectively hg add the files that you actually
want to modify in your patch.

I would argue that such patches are fundamentally flawed as they can
never become part of upstream. How hard is it to add an #ifdef bracket
around your patch?
