I have only seen commit messages here.

That is what I normally do, in effect, along with pulling just before 
committing. To be more precise. I use TortoiseHg Workbench 
-Repository/Import which normally brings up an editor window for a 
commit message after doing the patch. Leaving the window blank, as I 
always do, has the effect of --no-commit. A 'changeset patch' containing 
a commit message bypasses the option of either editing the message or 
making it blank. There does not seem to be a 'setting' to change this.
