        As an aside, for isolated (large or small) 2.4-new code, there's
nothing wrong with attaching pathes in bugzilla to help keep track of
them and make sure they aren't obfuscated by other wd changes. This has
been done successfully in the past - assigned dev fixes locally, makes
diff, attaches to bug, and does a clean update. Later on line is
branched, dev downloads and applies patch, tests one last time, commits.

I do think you've got the right idea here martin.
