I feel like I'm tempting fate

I have two patches on my dev laptop, ready for commit, but I can't because QA doesn't want to test those areas yet, not until Friday/Monday at least. I'd need to ask for permission to set up a new branch, so I can't save it there.

So. Two patches representing a week's worth of work that I don't want to repeat, and now I'm feeling that ominous creepy feeling up the back of my neck, like "there's no backup. Something may go wrong. Ack. Ack. Ack"

So. I have the patches stored in two separate files on my hard drive so I don't need to worry about anything overwriting. I've also stored them on my external just in case. And then uh. They're in a local mercurial repo in case I accidentally... snip the middle off one of the patches or something.

Bah, svn.
