There is something to be said about throwing the current output from 'svn diff'
on a remote server somewhere as Karl has been doing with pastebin.ca. No need
to keep the branch up to date. Also, unlike pastebin, which I understand
deletes pastes after a year, we'll alway have record of our patches.
Maybe we should have /anarchy or /checkpoints also be a place to dump patch files.
