This sounds like bad advice; merging changes with locally unrecorded changes shouldn't be any less expensive than merging them with a just-recorded patch (the algorithm is exactly the same, after all, unless there's something I've missed), and you have no way to roll things back if you don't record a patch before merging. Of course, you may want to unrecord your temporary patch after you've pulled, to keep your patch history neater. -- mithrandi, i Ainil en-Balandor, a faer Ambar
