Yes, it's correct, but see below.

The more useful process is that after changing the code you
do a git commit to your tree and then

git format-patch --stdout HEAD^

to get a git patch.  On that I can do 'git am' and that will produce
exactly the commit you produced, including the patch description
and ChangeLog parts.  I had to add that manually.

Indeed https://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html doesn't mention this,
we should probably improve that.  Jonathan, maybe the above
is not the optimal way so can you think of something to add
to the 'Submitting Patches' section to document this?

Thanks,
Richard.
