Depending on the changes made between releases forward porting a patch may be made much easier by having the entire history available to you when you re-base a patch, especially if there has been a lot of code reorganization. I can recall several instances where I've been trying to update an old patch and it's been a lot easier (in some cases trivial) to check out a old copy of the upstream code from their SCM apply the patch and then merge up to the present. Without doing something like that I likely would have had to hand-apply much of those patches. Jeff
