I stuck the outstanding patches I know of in kernel/doc/patch.
How does one apply a patch generated by svn which involved moving
files? Taking the diff and then using patch doesn't seem to do the
right thing. Or is the system just broken for such changes?

I also think this is a good idea

I suggest we change the process for submitting patches to the
following:
- have a directory writable by everyone such as IMP/patch
- to submit a patch, foo, check in trunk/patch/foo.patch and truck/
patch/foo.readme with the patch and a description, respectively
- send a short email to imp-dev
- when Ben commits the patch, he removes the files from SVN
The advantage of this system is:
- it is easy to see keep track of what patches have been submitted
but not committed.
- it is easy to update patches that have been submitted but not yet
committed
- it is easy to apply patches that have not yet been committed to
your copy of IMP, so is is less problematic when patches don't get
committed for a long time.
- no more having to get files to your email
- all the submitted patches are listed in one place for ben to see
- the submitted doesn't have to manually clean how his records of
the patch when Ben submits it.
Anyone have improvements? I'll try out such a system with my next
patch.
