Well, for each patch it unpulls, trackdown -v outputs 'Trying without
the patch:' and then a patch name.

I might be confusing myself here, but wouldn't you want grep -I -i?
The idea is that you want to look for cases where Site.tmpl does *not*
have atom in it (so that you know the patch that was just removed was
the one that introduced it).

Also you might be interested in darcs changes, which is typically where
I go to find out about this stuff (assuming I write the appropriate
patch comments).  Changes -v also shows you the contents of each patch,
but watch out, because if you do darcs changes -v Site.tmpl, you will
also get changes to all files, within the relevant patches.
