Patch applied, worked fine, thanks.

One thing you might want to do is create a separate branch for doing
fixes, this way when you update master, there won't be any possible
merge issues.

Ie:

  - git branch my-fix-branch
  - Made Changes
  - git commit -a
  - git format-patch -1

  - then later, back to master with:

    git checkout master
    git pull (to get the latest and greatest, including your patch once
    committed, etc)

But, you can work it in whatever way is comfortable for you - you have
the general idea :)
