Interesting approach.  I assume you did this to make a merge less painful after
an import, but did you consider that now you have to update all these diffs?

Personally, I'd rather see the diffs applied to bring it off the vendor branch
and so on, easier to track changes to them, and at least centralises your job
when doing future imports of new versions.

But hey, your call, I just don't know that you gain a lot.
