I tried running `hg import --no-commit "$(xclip -o)"` and got the following result:

bash: xclip: command not found
abort: need at least one patch to import

I am using OS X 10.11.6 and Mercurial 3.8.2. I did a bit of quick research on xclip, but it looks like yet another unfamiliar tool, and I don't know exactly what it does or how it is supposed to help me.

I looked at your suggestions for my patch, and I am working on them.

I am planning to look at the tutorial, and to look for, and maybe fix, deprecated calls, but so far, I don't have a clear idea how long it will take me, or if it is realistic for one person to do it.
