The downside of this is that Alasdair's and Charles's experience of
submitting and applying a patch doesn't seem to have been very smooth.
It's hard to say if that's because the CMS process just doesn't work well
for patches, or they just did it wrong. :)
It _should_ be no different than any other SVN patch. I do a lot of
updating by checking files out, editing and checking in.
Its possible that something may have changed recently - but that would
be a CMS bug.
If the patch process genuinely doesn't work so well for doc contributions
we may decide that facilitating doc contributions is more important than
facilitating new committers - or we may not, of course, since enabling
doc-driven committers sounds like a good thing to me as well.
(If we can identify a better way of submitting patches, of course, what
we'll need is someone to submit an patch for our docs pages with
instructions. :) )
