We generally do them one at a time. We should do them faster so there is less of a problem, but the fact that they get out of date, or don't quite work as they should makes that a slow process.

You'll need to manually add the rejections after the sources have changed. If you want to keep them separate, you can use a vendor branch as you said, or you might like to try out svk, which is an alternate client for subversion repositories (and you can commit changes locally and keep track of each changeset individually before pushing them out to the remote repo or picking up changes). I haven't used it extensively, but it looks pretty neat. No tool integration though, unfortunately (and more commands to learn :)

Cheers,

I have 3 patches I want to apply.

But after I have applied the first patch, all the other patches will
fail with Hunk #28 FAILED at XXXX errors because the original file
doesn't match the what the patch expects.

This leads me to think I need a local subversion repository installed
with a Vendor branch (see
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn-book.html) and I need to
load into the vendor branch the revisions as listed in the patch
files.  Then I can merge the vendor branch changes over into my local
changes.

This is all new to me but the committers must do something similar
when applying patches and facing failed hunks.  Is anyone able to
provide guidance or links to docs on the web somewhere.  Google isn't
being my friend today.

Cheers.
