Does someone know of a "patcher file server" for Plan9? I mean:
There are external sources in a hier called S. (S is considered a
remote resource, owned by some external entity and this is text.)
There is a same hier called P, with some filename matching a filename
on S, but with, for clarity (it is not required if they are diffs), a
'.diff' extension.
If there is such a diff, the file served is S/filename patched with
S/filename.diff. If there is not, the vanilla file is served.
If a modification is made, the diff is modified or created.
(Whether the P is itself backed by a filesystem doing versioning is
orthogonal.)
