Creating and applying patches
Often, when work on a project is shared between many developers, you need to work with,
review and mabye transfer changes that haven't been committed yet. For this, Subclipse
offers the functionality to create a patch,
which works with Eclipse's build-in apply patch.
Patches are representations of changes to a given version of the repository state, and
can easily be transferred to other developers, for instance in one developer (who doesn't have
commit access) needs to submit a change to someone who can then review and commit it.
