Mercurial copy patch to repository

Question

I'm using Mercurial repository and I have a patch in 'git' format and I wanted to know how I can apply that patch to my current repository which is Local.

hg import <patchfile(s)> should be able to handle git-style patches.

Use hg import --no-commit <patchfile(s)> if you don't want it to automatically commit the changes after each patch is imported.
