Is copying whole third-party source trees into svn rather than applying patches to upstream a widely-accepted svn anti-pattern? Uhg.
@damienmiller With git you can use a local, throwaway repo for that and just keep the output of format-patch in your project repo for hist.

@damienmiller And unlike the horrible "copy the upstream" approach you can sanely rebase on new upstream. -
@RichFelker right, though people often apply the "don't ever rebase" religion to imported third-party software too... -
@damienmiller And the alternative is perpetually maintaining a fork of old crap... *sigh*
