If so, just let > me know, please. :-) I guess the first steps with Git aren't completely trivial, but given how ubiquitous it is these days, it you might consider this a good case to try out the typical GitHub workflow :-) They provide good documentation: https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/ At first glance, it might seem overkill to you indeed; but that workflow becomes really easy once you get used to it a bit, and it has some advantages over dealing with plain patches. For example, it's a good way of including commit messages and author information with the patch, which makes our (maintainer's) life much easier. Holger
