See also "quilt" (http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/quilt), which is
designed to manage local changes to a tree in the form of a patch
series.  When my work project was using svn, I did almost all of my
actual development with quilt, and then committed the changes
one-by-one into svn when everything was ready and stable.  The quilt
mode for emacs helped.

The quilt workflow has been found to be so useful that hg and git both
ended up adding quilt implementations (with better integration into
the revision history than quilt provides).  Hg's "mq" extension almost
exactly mimics quilt's command set and patch storage model, and a
substantial portion of the hg book is devoted to it.
