partial commits

[Erik Bågfors]

>From what I understand a annotated diff will be what will be used for
"bzr send", which means that this is the format that people will get
used to seeing the diff with. It's also very close to what people are
used to if they are used to using diff and patch.

In other words, I think this is a great idea.  I was thinking about
implementing partial commits for bzr and had the same idea. I'm glad
you beat me to it (since I have no time :))
