Here's the workflow which provoked my asking. I wonder if there's an alternative (and maybe more streamlined) method of accomplishing the same. I received a patch containing a feature addition for a project I'm working on. My primary interest is only to view the changes (ie. code review)--not to submit them. AFAICT, the way to do this using subversion directly (ie. not a wrapper app like TortoiseSVN) is to apply the patch to my working copy and then view the diff. (I'm ignoring the option of viewing the raw patch file directly in an editor.) Once I'm done reviewing, I want to remove the change. Without the ability to apply the patch into a specific changelist, I have to surgically revert the changes if I have other changes of my own in the WC. If the patch were applied to a changelist, I can revert it all in one shot. Am I missing something for this workflow? Is there a simpler way? How do others handle this scenario? Nick
