Mercurial has all plugins disabled by default. So put this into *~/.hgrc* [extensions] hgext.mq = hgext.graphlog = hgext.hgk = This enables the patch queue extensions as well as the *hg* *glog* and *hg* *view* commands. To set the correct submitter I have export HGUSER="$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME <$EMAIL>" in *~/.bashrc*.
