Hi Ben,

Do you think the repository is the best place for this? The text above implies
intrinsically creating a branch (if I follow), so wouldn't it have to make
assumptions about repos structure ('/branches' existing).

My worry is that patches may be utter junk (!) and you don't want to keep an
immutable copy of them, until approved (when they'd get committed).
