Summary:  Major use case: accept / reject patches (a la Linux)

Original Submission:  One really important use case that's not documented well:



One project manager, several coders. Coders submit changes to project manager, 
project manager may 

1) accept as is

2) reject completely

3) accept, given some further work on the patch ("document this function, do 
this thing in a different way ...")



Now, the problem is how to make this work cleanly in arch.



The problem is mostly related to the handling of the coders' trees and patch 
logs. Somewhat similar to "cherrypicking changes" but in a different way.



The coders want to 1) keep their own changes they're working on , 2) stay up to 
date with project manager's version



Documenting how to make this model work in the docs would be *REAL* nice. ;)



(background: I lead the fenfire (fenfire.org) project and we're planning to 
move to using tla for versioning and would like to use the model I outlined 
above)
