I'd like to update the how-to-contribute section of the wiki to be more git
orthodox in the creation and application of patches, specifically following
along with these guidelines:

http://ariejan.net/2009/10/26/how-to-create-and-apply-a-patch-with-git/

Two benefits over the current, svn-style patches:
1) The patches include the author, who is credit in the commit log (I've
been doing this manually, but it's a pain)
2) The patch application and commit happens as a single step, helping to
avoid dunce-level errors like mine from yesterday.

Thoughts?
