I think the safest way is to checkout MXE in a separate
directory, and to apply your local changes there again.

A simple way to transfer your local changes is to run

    hg diff [...] > my-local-changes.patch

in your old directory, and to run

    patch -p1 < ../mingw-cross-env/my-local-changes.patch

in the new directory.

Maybe there's some more elegant way. Any advice from
some Git experts on this list?

I created the Git mirror via hg-fast-export, but that
tool doesn't allow me to transfer changes to a Git
repository not created by hg-fast-export. So while
this was a very comfortable way to transform the whole
repository, it's a bad choice to transfer your latest
local changes.


Regars,
Volker
