 but I already have a bunch of local modifications?
 This does a clean svn fetch of the unit tests into a temp folder and uses
 a separate database.  Your local modifications shouldn't be a problem.

 > It would be even more awesome if we hook this to the Jenkins install
 you're running. Choose a patch and just say: "try it on the test server".

 I can work on this.

 > This way I won't need to do anything locally. And on the test server we
 can always keep a clean copy ready.

 I think I'd always want to do a fresh checkout.  If a patch is poisoned
 and does local file writes, then the next time the "try" script is run,
 the checkout won't be clean.
