I should have. I am just now cloning the git tree. Once I get a my clone I will create a working copy and make the patches to it.

I just found on the website the proper way to submit patches. I will follow it. I just have been submitting patches to to many differt version control systems. I have to submit patches to cvs, svn, hg and git. I have a hard time remembering which source tree is what. I have just now created my

/master/src/cvs /master/src/git /master/src/hg /master/src/svn /working/src/cvs /working/src/git /working/src/hg /working/src/svn

I am moving things to these directories. This will allow me to know which tools to use for each type of version control. I also still have SCCS and RCS repos as well. I really wish we could get the industry to standardize on git. But that will be a while.

Sorry, I did not follow the proper method, for submittal. I did not even know there was one when I submitted the patches. I will do them that way once I finish my migration above.
