Patch management

In Open Source, software develops YOU!

Don't fallback to pre-1982 version control system just because you are not a communist^H^H^Hcommitter

% svk ci -P mypatch-name
% svk push -P mypatch-name
% mpack -s "stick this up your source repository" \
    ~/.svk/patch/mypatch-name upstream@developer.com
% svk patch --update  # after upstream changed
% svk patch --regen   # after local copy changed

• When your patch is merged upstream, your svk does not try to re-apply the changes - either via merge tickets (represented as svn properties) or some already-applied logic.
