Q: How to strip?

A:

Right-click a changeset selection like so:

TortoiseHg stripping 1

Click the "Mercurial Queues"->"Strip Revision.." entry, a dialog like this should open:

TortoiseHg stripping 2

Click "Strip", refresh the browser view, and the changeset should be gone. Be advised that stripping is only possible with a clean directory state, i.e. no modified files.

Don't panic if you stripped the wrong changeset, you can retrieve it by pulling from the backup-bundle located in /.hg/strip-backup/ .

Q: Why do I not have the "Mercurial Queues" entry in the context menu?

A: You have to activate the MQ extension in your mercurial.ini located in "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\". It is a text-file, just edit it to un-comment the mq-entry under [ extensions ].
