I know how to apply I patch, but it's just not reliable enough,
patches fail and when they do you have to go back to original author
and ask for the files.  Patches also cause me more work as I can to
create a full modified file and then do a graphical diff against the
original file so I can do a proper review.

Over the last decade of developing the OSG I have found the most
reliable way to merge changes is to it graphically from full source
files, the policy of requiring full files hasn't just popped out of
the air to make you life more awkward - it's there to make sure the
quality of the OSG remains high and that the process is efficient.

Please provide full modified files, if you wish also provide the patch
files as well as this sometimes can help a quick look but I don't use
them for final merge as they just don't cut it.

Robert.
