These aren’t great replacements for svn-unapply for me.

All I want to do is remove a particular patch from my tree; updating and reverting everything is both slower and may have unwanted side effects, such as removing changes I made after uploading the patch.

I can see how someone would no longer need svn-unapply once they had switched to git.
