Details

As in summary. It's pretty annoying to have to wait half an hour and then hear that you used the wrong strip option, or that the patch failed to apply for some other reason. The --dry-run option means you should only need to keep around one tree for this purpose (as patch is not supposed to ever *actually* change anything if you use that option), and it could tell you right after you submit the webpage, rather than by reading the tinderbox logs half an hour to an hour later.
This is a fine idea. I won't have time to do it right now but next time I'm doing try server work I'll try to get this in.
