This would probably work well with Git but not with SVN. Imagine all
current patches applied, reverted and reapplied to trunk. I think it would
be a big unstable mess and you never can tell what causes it. With Git it
could be easier because Git does branches/merges much easier than SVN.
However it has its own quirks. I do not know details but I heard that it
misses many cool features of SVN.
