+merge-request: create and manage merge requests
+===============================================
+
+Merge-request are used to propose some modifications to a project. They are generic and
+are made to be used with several backends, but only Mercurial is implemented so far.
+
+To prepare a merge request with Mercurial, you just need to have a clone of the project,
+and do your modifications (either directly, or in a bookmark, a branch, or a MQ patch).
+
+set
+===
+
+Create and publish a merge request. Once the modification on the project are done, simply
+run the command from the repository (or specify its path with ``-r PATH, --repository
+PATH``). If the project has set metadata (it can be done with a magic string in README),
+you don't have to specify any service or node, it will be set automatically (but you still
+can specify them if needed).
+
+You may associate one or more labels to your request using ``-l LABELS, --label LABELS``.
+
+By default, a confirmation is requested before publishing the request, you can publish
+without confirmation by using the ``-f, --force`` flag.
+
+If you have already done a merge request and you just want to update it, check its id and
+specify it with ``-i ITEM, --item ITEM``, this will override the previous request with the
+new updated one.
+
+examples
+--------
+
+Publish a merge request (to be executed from the repository of the project you have
+modified)::
+
+  $ li merge-request set
+
+Update an existing merge request, which has the id ``123`` (to be executed from the
+reposiroty of the project you have modified)::
+
+  $ li merge-request set -i 123
+
+Do a merge request for repository at path ``~/some_project``, specifying a label
+indicating it's work in progress (WIP)::
+
+  $ li merge-request set -r ~/some_project --label WIP
+
+
+get
+===
+
+Get and print one or more merge requests. By default only some metadata are shown (without
+the patches), but you can use ``--verbose, -v`` to show details.
+
+examples
+--------
+
+Show some metadata of last 5 merge requests::
+
+  $ li merge-request get -M 5
+
+Display details for merge request with id 456::
+
+  $ li merge-request get -v -i 456
+
+
+import
+======
+
+Import a merge request into your project. You mainly have to be in the project repository
+(or specify it using ``-r PATH, --repository PATH``) and to specify the id of the patch to
+import (using ``-i ITEM, --item ITEM``). The behaviour depends of the type of the patch,
+for Mercurial, the patch will be imported as `MQ`_ patch.
+
+.. _MQ: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/MqExtension
+
+example
+-------
+
+Import the merge request with id 321::
+
+  $ li merge-request import -i 321
