I may misremember, but I think we only have rsync available for blead
and the maint branches.  However, by going to that URL and clicking on
the snapshot link of the most recent commit, he can get a tarball of
that branch.  For example, as of this writing, that tarball is
available from:

http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/snapshot/f4b5e624f453b3b841559cca80e0999c2ffdccc3.tar.gz

Wiping out the build directory and unpacking a new tarball is
inconvenient, but not impossible.

As far as submitting patches, if GNU diff is not available but the
older 5.8-era Perl is available, consider Algorithm::Diff from CPAN.
