Yes.  But I think you could just do that here, too?  I.e., instead of
copying and managing files, you can just write the `C-x v D' diff to a
file, apply reverted diff, apply user-edited patch, commit, reverse
edited patch, apply diff from file.

It seems easier, even -- you don't have to manage a bunch of files.
