What am I doing wrong, if "hg export" returns with:
abort: export requires at least one changeset

I'd like to suggest to add another thing to section 1

6. If a discussion for a certain patch (set) identified an issue, that 
will be fixed in a separate patch (set) and by another developer, but 
the second patch (set) will touch same code parts as the first patch 
(set), its recommended to wait with the second one until the first patch 
(set) was finished and accepted. This avoids reworking patches because 
of problems during apply.
