Is it ok to submit patches to git.git using msysgit, and also from git-osx? I'm not sure how fast I can get past our security people on the linux servers, if at all.

v/r, neal

Honestly, I highly doubt if I could even tell if your patch was created with "git format-patch" running on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, or CP/M-86 for that matter. As long as the port of Git to the platform is working correctly, that is.

Does someone have documentation on how to test the AsciiDoc changes of their Documentation/ patches? This tester I found doesn't work right because it not only shows my asciidoc changes misformatted in html, but it also shows the original working asciidoc code from git.git as being misformatted in html : http://andrewk.webfactional.com/asciidoc.php
