Greetings,
I've only contributed to Worg, not the Org manual. I want to submit a change to the documentation per an earlier discussion.[1] I'm attempting to follow the Worg suggestion for submitting patches.[2] Here was my process cd ~/.elisp/org.git git pull make clean && make git branch org-src-preserve-whitespace git checkout org-src-preserve-whitespace emacs doc/org.texi [make changes to documentation] git commit -m "Update documentation to org-src-preserve-indentation." git format-patch master But no files were generated... Am I doing something incorrectly? Here's the current output of =git status= On branch org-src-preserve-whitespace Changes not staged for commit: (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) modified: doc/org.texi no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a") UPDATE: just on a whim, I did `git commit -am "notes"` and now it works. Since the file exists, why is -am necessary vs. just -m? Or perhaps another question is why Worg suggests just -m. Should/would this work under some circumstance? I can update Worg with -am if this is the proper/necessary way. Thanks, John [1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2014-01/msg01505.html [2] http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html#sec-4
