How about unpull putting the patch in a stowaway place, where it can
be retrieved from, a bit like CVS's attic but more elegant.

You can go through this "attic" if you really want to zap something
completely, and then it's your responsibility.

I don't like unpull relying on other repos because it is less
distributed, by being dependant on external resources.

Furthermore, the performance hit will be REAAAALLLLLYYY painful.

This gives unpull a sort of cherry picking edge, too - you can
hotswap some changes easily, without needing to keep an entire
branch at hand (which is sometimes annoying, since you might not
want to override your default repo, and you might not remember to
set the flag, and so on and so forth).

Ciao!
