Unless anyone has any objections, I suggest just posting patches to the mailing list. If the volume becomes a problem we can always create another list, but in the meantime it enables us to eyeball patches as they go past. Simplest thing is to do: diff -ur old/ new/ > patchfile.p or svn diff > patchfile.p and then attach patchfile.p to a post to the list. It's helpful if patches are broken up into task-based chunks rather than submitted together (ie don't merge fixes for 17 packages into one massive patch). You may also need to attach any new files you create - please indicate their names and locations. I'm currently stalling 4.7.4rel2 on a C++ bug from Alan; but happy to integrate patches for the time being - if it gets complicated I'll simply branch 4.7.4rel2 and work on it there. I also just mailed Richard Wilson on the subject of Tinct source code - will see what he says.
