I would like a simple patcher for three reasons.

1. hg, at least as I see it exposed through tortoisehg workbenck, will not apply a patch if there is already an uncommitted change. (But perhaps someone will tell me that there is a 'do it anyway' option.)

Sometimes when working on a patch, I want to quickly try out ant then revert another patch that I know does not conflict with the current one.

2. The hg patcher does not give error messages (other than 'chunk failed'). So to do a backport, for instance, I re-edit the file instead of correcting the diff.s

3. Not everything is in hg or equivalent.
