I would like to have another go at fixing this bad interaction between track
changes and version control systems.  Basically means using a hash function
of author email (+/- name) rather than an integer starting at 1 to identify
the author of tracked changes.  But I need a little help with practicalities

We're here to help. ;-)

1) I have a patch set for 1.6.X which will no longer apply because Vincent
(vfr) already contributed an alternative.  I presume that I need to modify
my patch to layer on top of his.

The patch should have been (and would have to be) for trunk, because this is a file format change.

Note that, if you have a patch that no longer applies, you can always do this:
    1. svn up -r xxxxx, where xxxxx is a version back when it worked
    2. apply the patch
    3. svn up
You'll now get conflicts, but you can resolve those.
