Hmm, it feels exactly the other way around to me:  working with the DVCS
tools while reviewiing a patch allows me to be more productive (e.g.,
using 'bzr shelve' or the equivalent hg subcommand).

Making a local branch / clone for each issue also feels more natural
than working in a read-only SVN checkout.

That was the URL I was trying to work with:  it has been a couple of
months since I last tried, however.
