Depending on the changes made between releases forward porting a patch
may be made much easier by having the entire history available to you
when you re-base a patch, especially if there has been a lot of code
reorganization.  I can recall several instances where I've been trying
to update an old patch and it's been a lot easier (in some cases
trivial) to check out a old copy of the upstream code from their SCM
apply the patch and then merge up to the present.  Without doing
something like that I likely would have had to hand-apply much of those
patches.
