You partly answered your own question. Another reason is if you are mucking
around in the source you can just copy-paste it into a new patch instead of
closing, opening the file selector and choosing that file again.
Another reason is you can select the code off the browser and immediately
play with a patch off svn instead of saving it to a location and opening it.
Another reason is that you can throw text up on a pastebin for people
who you don't necessarily have an email address for (e.g., on IRC), and they can paste it
into a new patch instead of copy-pasting it into a text editor, choosing save,
choosing a save location, choosing "Open" in Pd, navigating to that same
location where they saved it, selecting it, and eventually deleting the patch
when their download directory is full of junk.
