It's probably far better to do the following: git clone <url> git checkout -b mychanges #make a branch for yourself, and switch to it ... make your changes... git commit -a -s #commit what you did, and sign off git format-patch master #create a patch against the master branch (the original clone) The reason format-patch is superior here is that it maintains your authorship and change description.
