However, we can't accept patches via pull\nrequests on GitHub.  Please read Documentation/SubmittingPatches to\nsubmit a neatly formatted patch so that we can consider it for\ninclusion.  Also, please consider patching the existing\ngit-new-workdir script to work with GitBash instead of creating one\nfrom scratch.\n\nThanks.\n\n-- Ram\n"}]}
