Thank you Christian. SVN is not like Git or or Mercurial, it doesn't allow you to develop a decentralized patchset of small independent patches that apply sequentially after each other and then send it through to an issue. Currently my patch is at 1368 lines in 46 kB, and still growing - this takes a good while to review and commit, if patches that large are even acceptable in one go.
How do you guys develop multiple independent patches using SVN without committing in between? Do you use "diff -Nur" manually across multiple copies of the source tree? Or do you accept a single massive patch? In a few days I will update the issue ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SANSELAN-40) with a new version of my patch and then mail the developer mailing list.
