Google led me to this page:

But given that you use ffmpeg from the command line, consider the
following (after installing "native git" which runs from the command line):
$ git clone http://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git
$ cd ffmpeg
edit a file in the doc directory.
$ git commit doc
(I suspect this will ask you to set your name and email when running
it for the first time)
$ git format-patch HEAD^
This produces a file that you can send to the mailing list after
visual inspection for commit message and your name.
$ git reset HEAD^

I expect there to be more than one tutorial...
