It doesn't support svn yet but it supports cvs, hg and darcs so svn support should be easy to add. . You might check out commit-patch: it automates the process you describe.

You can use it with snv at the same time, and then let me know :) @ BlogReader // comment #15

You’re right, but just try darcs for 2 weeks. You can use it with snv at the same time, and then let me know :)

The way I operate is that I do a unit of work at a time. So either it all goes in with a checkin or none of it does. I do frequent checkins throughout the day, never lumping everything in at once. Also by frequently checking in that avoids merge conflicts as everyone on the team is used to syncing up frequently. For that reason I'll even check in code that partially fixes a problem (doesn't introduce more) just so that others can see the latest stuff. Partial patches?

If you started a project without using any versioning tools, I really recommend that you start using one immediately; but I’m not discussing this right now. I would like to point your attention to some best practices that I recommend when working in a team.

You must admit that you're a bit of a particular user, to say the least :) Mike, that may not be *that* complicated, but it’s an hassle that darcs doesn’t give you.

I typically just write out the diff to a file and open it with (my already running) emacs, reverse direction and apply the hunks I don't want anymore. That probably sounds more complicated than it is. I live in emacs, anyhow. :-) That’s a nice feature but honestly, it doesn’t help my life enough to make me switch.
