It does fix an existing problem, which is that it is much easier to
review a patch in Reitveld than via e-mail (assuming you have a fast
Internet connection). You can see as much context as you want in the
file, it's easy to comment on specific lines. We use Reitveld for Go
patches and it is a huge time saver. In Go we also can commit the exact
patch straight from Reitveld; I don't know if the subversion integration
supports that. (Go uses Mercurial.)
