Hi Instead of using the patch file from a pull request it would be also possible to create the patch file in the local repository with "git format-patch .." ( http://git-scm.com/docs/git-format-patch ) I used this command to create my few patches. It could be even more efficient than using the pull request for creating a svn patch file.
* create patch file from pull request 1) Commit & Push 2) Create Pull Request 3) Save Patch File & Correct Encoding * create patch file with git format-patch 1) Commit & Push 2) Create Patch File (git format-patch) cyrill
