I can't speak for Ben, but for me it's because that would break the
self-contained source RPM package I roll for my CentOS machines.
Self-contained? What is the problem with moving output of hg diff to
this package and why you mess up with using patches at all and don't
just put snapshot of repository at given revision?
The RPM spec file format contains sources lines that can include an
http/ftp URI for each source file, and patches are considered a source
file. RPM does not support mercurial repositories for sources. (At
least not the version of RPM that comes with CentOS.)
In other words, what you suggest is possible, but it's not what I want
to be doing.
All this is very nearly a moot point, because--to repeat what I said
before--distributed patches really should /work/, or they should be
abandoned.
