Since Matthew introduced me to quilt, I believed you were using it too. quilt
allows you to generate patches. Basically, it records the file you want to
modify before you modify it ("quilt add"), then it generates a patch when you
are done with the modification ("quilt refresh"). You can "quilt add" several
files to a given patch. You can revert the patch with "quilt pop", reapply
with "quilt push". It is specially useful when working on general.ent: when
you want to test a new version, you need to modify general.ent. Then somebody
else modifies it on the repo, then you "quilt pop", "svn up", "quilt push", so
that the patch is always against the latest general.ent.
