You just do: % git format-patch remotes/origin/master 0001-Add-some-more-files-to-.gitignore.patch ... and it creates a series of .patch files you can either manually attach to an email, or do: % git send-email 0001-Add-some-more-files-to-.gitignore.patch to mail it in. > At this stage, we're really not interested in patches: we need developers. > People to rewite major bits of code, develop whole libraries, etc. > > Particularly we need a set (read: a lot more than one) of programmers > to handle Windows stuff..

Fetching gets things from a remote server, but you already have the full history locally, so you're just re-checking out a file from the local repository :) >> Oh, and about things backed up onto github. github doesn't get any >> changes until you do a "git push".

The "/" has no meaning. There's no difference between a branch called "foo" and "features/foo". ---- Oh and I think I'm going to switch felix over to a git-flowy style once we tag v1.1.6rc3, where all the development happens on a develop branch, and the master branch is just for tags. I think this will make things ultimately much more stable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lotusphere 2011 Register now for Lotusphere 2011 and learn how to connect the dots, take your collaborative environment to the next level, and enter the era of Social Business. http://p.sf.net/sfu/lotusphere-d2d _______________________________________________ Felix-language mailing list Felix-language@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/felix-language
