Here I'd like to add: JOSM is some kind of special case, because our 
auto-compiled "latest" version actually is widely used. On other 
projects a broken (e.g. deleting '{0}/*' where the placeholder variable 
can be "") SVN checkin does not hurt, here it has the potential to. So 
it is better to channel all commits through some senior team members.

May I point out that 1-line patches are the most dangerous and sneaky 
kind of patch? Oh, how many times have I killed our application at work 
with just one line.... (Actually not that often---we practice peer 
review there.)

BTW: SVN holds 11 patches, now.
