Incremental patches should work fine. If svn client encounters a local
change which fits to the update delta (the patch coming in from the
server) it is happy. If the local version has additional changes, there
might be conflicts which can be merged automagically by svn (displaying
a "G" instead of "U" for the file in the update log) or you have to
resolve the conflict manually ("C"), which is also pretty nifty in IDEA.

Not that I'm aware of. I use Intellij IDEA, which supports this poor-
man's-git feature (called "changelists"). I don't know about Eclipse.

If you create a full, aggregated patch, I'm happy too.
