Also the Contributor Guide makes mention of submitting a patch file.

Supplying a contribution through patch and JIRA issue

`git format-patch nifi-359~1 -o </desired/path/for/patch>/nifi-359.patch`


Now you can go to JIRA for ticket NIFI-359 and select 'more -> attach

In practice I have experienced  this is not the way to submit changes hence
this part should be removed from the Contributor Guide.
