I think you want something like this (uncompleted/untested offhand): $ git checkout -b my-patch origin/master # hack on some files $ git commit -a -s # edit commit message $ git format-patch $ git send-email Hugely these are the commands I'd use to make a change and send it out to LKML. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
