I don't think that the majority of people applying patches really care
what the format of the patch is (developers, of course, probably do, but
not people like timecop or myself who prefer a xxxK patch to a xxMB
download).

I don't see a public rsync server for gimp, cvs or otherwise.  Perhaps
this might be an acceptable option for people with modest bandwidth
capabilities.
