hgmq vs. StGIT

Dear diary, on Tue, Nov 01, 2005 at 01:25:54AM CET, I got a letter
where Theodore Ts'o [off-list ref] told me that...
For an example of how to make it a first-class operation, it might be
worthwhile to look at Chris Mason's "Mercurial Queues" extention to
Mercurial:

	http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/MqExtension

I've used it once or twice, and hg mq is definitely very nice and
convenient, and it makes commits a first-class operation.  On the
other hand, I've found that the combination of quilt and
Mercurial/BK/git works just fine, even for my own internal development
of (for example) the e2fsprogs tree.
Did anyone do any current detailed comparison between hg mq and StGIT?

I'm very happy with StGIT, modulo few UI gripes I'm still not getting
around to fix, and the fact that I cannot version my changes to patches
- this is one advantage of having quilt stuff tracked by GIT, I think,
but that feels ugly.
