Once again (with new arguments): repository directory uncommitted-patches

Hi,

I had some thoughts again about the "uncommitted-patches" directory that 
I had wished some times ago. I think I know now the main reason why I 
want to have it. It's a central read-write file store where someone from 
the project can leave a patch and someone else can later commit and 
delete it.

The current practice is that everyone has his own website where he 
published patches. In most cases someone else will finally commit them. 
So the committer has to tell the patch's author that the patch can be 
deleted from the website.

The new workflow would be: $Author adds a patch to the 
uncommitted-patches directory. $Reviewer applies the patch to his 
working copy and tests it. He can then commit the patch and delete it 
from the uncommitted-patches directory without having to tell $Author 
about it.
