Differencing and patching object graphs

[Bernhard Haumacher (haui at haumacher dot de)]

There is a new package within the "uka" hierarchy that provides the computation of object graphs differences, patch creation from such difference sets and the application of patches to corresponding object graphs. The new package is called "uka.patch". The main entry points into this package are the interface Patchable that describes an object that supports differencing and the class PatchAdapter that manages patch creation and application. The implementation of replicated objects heavily depends upon this feature. See ticket:157 for details.
