That's pretty much how it works. With GitHub, you just check the code back in with your patch (push your new commit to a branch) -- but you push it to your own branch and open a "pull request" that asks for the commit to be merged into the master branch of dinkypumpkin/get_iplayer. The git format-patch stuff by e-mail works just fine too though. -- Mark _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
