Description

[See original issue on GitLab](https://gitlab.com/BuildStream/buildstream/-/issues/704)
In GitLab by [[Gitlab user @coldtom]](https://gitlab.com/coldtom) on Oct 11, 2018, 11:45

## Background

After editing source code in a workspace, it would be nice if BuildStream provided a way to export a diff/patch of the changes, so it could be easily applied to the version being used in the build.
