Allow me to say something? Forgive me if it sounds rude, as it might sound.

Git community is highly technical and is about developing and improving Git scm tool.

To be honest, I think it is not a place to learn C or how to contribute to open source projects. There are better places for this (you can set up your own projects in GitHub for example).

So while you can do a lot of mistakes and learn from them, this causes noise and waste of time, since Junio has to look at your patch, and he lost time if he has to explain over and over the procedures of how to format and send a good patch.

Just curious, is this your first contact with the C language (a new class at the University)?
