It would be cool if subversion had a command
svn post-patch -u <url>
that would basically dosvn diff
, put a summary of the files touched into a text file, open an editor so the user can add an explanation of the patch, tar+gzip it all together, and post the resulting patch to a specified HTTP URL.svn
could even do something dumb to find the appropriate URL within the source tree itself, rather than requiring the user to specify it.The idea is, if you're a big open-source project using subversion, you could install some hypothetical web-based tool to receive and track patches. Your core developers could browse and apply patches with a few clicks.

Possible side projects
Considering my goal of working on one frivolous side project at a time, I've decided to post (even more of) my stupid ideas here, so I always have plenty of frivolous things to choose from.
