What do others think?
You lose the key advantage of being able to make mass changes (scripted) that require a revision update, because
once the file revision and patch are out of sync fink can no longer find the patchfile. Honestly I do not see the problem of using the $Id $ tags in files and using -D with cvs commands to get a specific snapshot. This is meant to make things easier, not harder on us.
as an added idea, for the people that think they will have trouble keeping track of such patches, they can add either an empty file w/the version/revision of the patch as a name, or they can do echo "version-rev" > package.patch && diff -ruN dir dir.new >> package.patch
problem solved :)
