Yes, but what I meant is that someone may modify the patch in a way
that it is no longer appliable to its parent or to any other revision
in the tree. A this point, a three-way merge is no longer possible
(but, well, if someone modifies the patches this way should be able to
cope with the consequences).

Yes, you are right. The big difference is the underlying tool (hg or git).
