It would be convenient to have a script which is the complement of
'post-review', and can be used for pulling reviews and applying their diffs
to a specified directory.  Optionally, if the current/specified directory
is a clean repository (with no pending changes), the script could change
the working-version to the 'from' version of the diffs before applying them.

I'm planning a suite of tools for working with Review Board servers, and this will be
one of them. However, it's happening down the road and won't be written any time soon.

For now, it's trivial to write something that just pulls the patch down and applies
it. Maybe I'll go ahead and do this one early, but I'm not guaranteeing it, so
pushing this to 2.0.

In fact, I'm going to say that this and bug 445 are actually the same request, in
slightly different forms.
