Applying a patch is the smallest issue here as with a wellformed patch its only something like patch -p0 < some_patch. Reviewing a patch and testing etc. cannot be solved by any VCS. > Secondly, havin geany in git will make life easier for people like me > and Jiří Techet who are keeping a bunch of patches on top of what is > currently in SVN (I've currently got a set of 9 quilt patches I apply > to whatever is in SVN head). From my understanding Jiří is already using git with git-svn on his local working space. Not sure whether something like this is available for Mercurial. However, I don't want to start a new discussion about git and co at the moment as its not adding any additional value to.
