Yeah, I'll try and make one.  070-guards.sh to test guilt-guard and
guilt-select plus pushing and popping?

There's also sed -i in a few places. For integrity purposes, are a cp
and sed better?

Yeah, they have this problem too, but tell you so when you select, so
guilt should too. I'll fix that up.  Mercurial also has two options
which do the popping and reapplying for you, which I'll try and implement also.
