Anyway... assuming there's a at least a clone of the central repository on one of those sites, you can fork it and work on your patch there. A core developer can then pull your patch to their local repository, tweak it as needed, then commit it to the central repository. > I would put accent on keeping mirror of Subversion as easy way to > contribute for those who are not yet ready for DVCS.

It's geared toward using a Mercurial client to talk to a git server, but I'm told it can work the other way around with a bit of work. -- Daniel Stutzbach, Ph.D. President, Stutzbach Enterprises, LLC <http://stutzbachenterprises.com>
