I guess you're just doing commits straight ontop of a clone of the repo.
If so I'd recommend using Mercurial's patch queue extension - it provides
quilt-like functionality integrated into mercurial commands. I use it 
to maintain & rebase a long stack of patches - you can move up & down
through the stack, rebasing at will, until you're ready to submit the
patch, or formally commit it to the repository.

Edit your $HOME/.hgrc and add

  [extensions]
  hgext.mq=  

Then you can do 'hg qinit' to start a queue, and 'hg qnew NAME' to create
a new patch. You can do hg qnew multiple times to stack a series of patches,
and 'hg qpop' / 'hg qpush'  to move up & down through the stack, and 
'hg qseries' to view the set.  See 'hg help' for all the other useful
commands - all prefixed with a 'q'
