Yes, that'd be great. OTOH, I don't think it's a good idea to have a format
that GNU patch believes to be a diff file. I'm not sure of the exact heuristics
used by patch, but we should avoid the conflicts.

Another good idea is something like "svnpatch", which knows also to add/remove
files from version control, and modify properties. Which would be the base for
something like "svn patch", as already seen in "svk patch".
