Having recently tried to get this to work right and not quite nailed it 
down yet, I know it would be a help to new developers if someone using 
this technique would write out a suggested setup/workflow for generating 
patches this way.  Right now the best instructions out there are those 
that go with the buildfarm

http://pgfoundry.org/docman/view.php/1000040/4/PGBuildFarm-HOWTO.txt

and those aren't quite focused right if the goal is to work on new patches 
while keeping in sync with the repository.
