Even better, at least in Debian's case, there's debcheckout(1). It hides
all the boring stuff. Check stuff out into two dirs, work in one, diff
with the other, send patch upstream (or if appropriate, to
$distribution), and one doesn't even have to know what VCS tool upstream
is using.
Simple, stupid, but works, and is pretty much VCS-agnostic.
