Lon,

We tried something similar to this a while back, the big problem with
this is you end up having to maintain a whole file when perhaps all you
want to do is adjust a single line in that file.

You end up with a load of extra work, because your version of the file
can quickly go stale.

We have chosen therefore to use patches instead, the advantage here is
that if someone enhances a part of the file you don't care about, you
still get the benefit. Occasionally your patches fail if a file has
changed significantly, but this too can be a good thing, because it
flags up that something you rely on has changed. Imagine how much can
slip through the net if you are effectively just overwriting the latest
copy of the file with a version you made 500 commits ago!
