I use the comma many times in local patches:

       patches/
                ,etc,laptop-mode,laptop-mode.conf%enable-ac.patch
                ,etc,profile%add-ksh-support.patch
                ...

Which are stored in version control. Converting these filename into
patch target is logical transformation of:
        
        ,etc,laptop-mode,laptop-mode.conf%enable-ac.patch
        => 
        /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf

I would vote for @, which is already used e.g. in commercial CVS
systems (at least ClearCase), and by SVN.
