This page is very helpful for working with the Eclipse Git repositories.

Perhaps there were additional changes in your workspace when you 
committed, possibly from doing a reset or switching branches.  You should 
double check what is in the commit you are trying to patch (History View > 
Right click > Show in commit viewer).

[e4-dev] Git best practices
Sent by:

After working on my first patch [1], I ran into several difficulties 
creating a useful patch.  If I just committed and selected the commit from 
the history view, it would create a patch with my changes but it would 
also include many other changes.  I am assuming they are the changes from 
the previous commit as well, and I have triple checked to make sure I 
selected the right commit.  Also, after committing something I might 
realize a defect and have to commit the changes, but I will have to revert 
the previous commit because I am not able to select multiple commits to 
create a patch.

So I am assuming there are a number of things I am doing wrong.  Does 
anyone have any "best practices" or advice for a guy just starting with 
git & e4 development?

Thanks,

JD

ps-  I have the EGit user guide and I reference that as much as possible.
