I'm pretty new to git myself but am trying to use something like this  
workflow

A Nikodemus suggested, I think sending a patch to the mailing list  
would be the best thing for now.

(Once the repo is straightened out), I am going to add an unstable  
branch into which patches will go first.

I agree with Nikodemus (again! <smile>)

I think that git is so flexible that knowing exactly what to do when  
is elusive. We'll have to create a path by walking.

Yeah! Why don't you send the patch when you're ready and we can try to  
make asdf:clean-op a test case.
