It is better (i.e., easier for us) if you commit your work locally (possibly on a branch), with a suitable commit comment, and then prepare that commit using git-format-patch and mail it to us. The recipe for doing this is on the front page of http://git-scm.com/ and explained in git howtos. I can commit from git-diff output too, but if you are going to send more patches, it might be a good opportunity to learn the "preferred" way. This will also prepare you for real write access to the git repository... /Simon
