When I want to create a patch on my local changeset, I really I have to first commit, any I can create the patch. May I know under TortoiseHg, how I can create a patch without performing commit?

You should be able to right-click on the patch file and choose "Apply patch..." - that's how it works for other TortoiseX clients. Make sure that you save the patch file to the same directory path it was generated from. Thanks for the suggestion.
Commit. Explorer: right-clicking anywhere in the folder, or on the folder itself, and then selecting Hg Commit… Write a commit message, select the files you wish to commit, then press Commit. Your previous commit message will be in the message history drop-down, so you do not have to type it in again from scratch.
Once all the conflicts are resolved you can close TortoiseHg's resolve conflicts dialog and click next on the merge window. On this next screen you can enter the commit message and then click Commit Now . You are now done.
TortoiseHg 2.0.2: in workbench you can right-click on the Working Directory line and select Export / Copy patch from the contextual menu - the resulting diff will be placed in clipboard.
Of course, you won't have the changeset header and the commit message at the beginning of the patch like you will get from the same operation made on a commit:
# HG changeset patch

Thanks to xanatos:
You can enable the "git format" for diffs (that include binary data) in the workbench: File->Settings->Compare->Git Format = True (the default value is unspecified, that seems to be equal to False)

Is hg diff -g what you are looking for?
