I agree completely. Imagine that you would have to put your Linux system
together from individual kernel patches. I guess there wouldn't be many
Linux users at all. But hey, come on, this is open source spirit! :-)

Exactly.

Tapio: I agree that separating a huge patch is a time-consuming task.
However, if you remember this for future changes, you won't have this
problem anymore.

What I usually do is this:

1) Update to the latest SVN revision, no changes made
2) Make my changes
3) When finished, do a diff and save it as a file
4) Revert the changes so I can start over again with an unmodified system

There are usually not many changes depending on each other. In case this
still occurs, I just add a notice to the patch so I won't forget about
that. No problem after all, and works pretty well...
