How can "local branch" distributed? Let's assume such patches not "local" but "private". I have a lot of nodes, where server contains my patches for ports, patches distributed via my anonimous CVS server, and automatically applyed with http://free.babolo.ru/patch/ports.Mk.port.mk.patch (successor to my PR/45200). How can I distribute my patches across hosts without separate hierarhy for that?
