Are you sure you didn't commit stuff by mistake? There's 1862 changed files but the functional change is only in one of them. |

There was a Mercurial "patchbomb" extension: https://wiki.mercurial-scm.org/PatchbombExtension We deleted it since it has no internal use-cases but it can be re-added. If we backport the code, we can maintain a command-line UI familiar to Mercurial users. What do you think? |

Really sorry for being little inactive. Re-adding the 'patchbomb' extension sounds like a good to me. It would provide the email functionality in a way that's familiar to Mercurial users. |
Summary of Changes:
Fixes #318
New Flag: Adds the --email flag to format output with email headers.
Email Headers: Generates headers like From, Date, Subject, and Message-Id for each patch to create an email-style format.
Commit Message and Diff: Includes the full commit message, followed by diffstat and the full diff for each revision.
Default Behavior: If --email is not specified, the command falls back to its standard export functionality without email formatting.
