That is an interesting discussion.
Let me try to express, why this functionality is useful for me.


Using patches is an important feature when using tla with the following 
scenario:

I use a development branch on computer A. I can mirror this archive to B.
Now I make a small fix on B, send the changes via mail to A. Now I can apply
the fix on A. I don't want to have a trace in the changelog or
wherever that I did the fix on computer B. So this is the best
solution for my problem there.

This feature works very well for me. I do the change in B, send it to
A. This undoes the changes on B also. On A I can apply the patch from
B.

I experimented a bit with bzr bundles for that purpose. The thing I
don't like here is, that I can see that the patch is from B.

Consider the following scenario:
I do the main devolopment for DVC on my PC at home. I have installed
DVC on several machines at work. Now I want to fix a little issue for
DVC at work. The best solution for me is to send a patch to the
machine at home.

Then I use gnus to apply the patch. That functionality is not yet
ready for bzr. But I will implement it, if Michael does not need that
kind of functionality.

In short, I like that functionality and I will use it often.
I don't care, if we send patches or bundles. I am not sure, if it is
possible to send a bundle for a not yet committed patch.


Stefan.
