The benefit being that we'd eventually be able to apply `patch++' and
other formats, such that it would do the "svn add", "svn del", etc for
you, right? Sounds good.

A question though:

What's the benefit in having this in Subversion before it does more
than just run `patch', which the user could do anyway? If having this
subcommand in Subversion now would make it more likely that Subversion
will soon implement the extended functionality, then it makes sense to
apply this change right away. But I don't see why it would -- the
hard part of writing an "svn patch" command is not the framework nor
the exec'ing of patch, but choosing format[s] and interpreting them in
a way that is meaningful for Subversion. And it's of no use without
that extended functionality, since people can just run patch directly.

Subversion should have those extended features. But it should also
avoid a situation whereby it has, for some long period, just the
ability to invoke vanilla patch (which is by itself pointless) and no
more.

I guess what I'm really saying is, would you like to go the whole way
on this change -- research extended patch formats, document how
they'll be interpreted, and make Subversion do it? I'm not sure that
going only part of the way is terribly useful here.
