This is the URL which I did `git clone' from:

I 'played' my changes onto the cloned repository and edited ChangeLog.
Do you want me to `git push' this somewhere? I will not be back at my
workstation until tomorrow morning. I'll send a split(1) tar.gz of cloned repo
to the list.
It may be big :|
Instead of sending a new tar.gz file, I think the preferred way is to use 'git
format-patch' to generate a list of patches, then compress them with XZ and
send to the mailing list.
Example:
## If you started with this repository
git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/administration/savane.git
cd savane
## Then changes some files, and committed them with "git commit"
$ git commit
# change more files
$ git commit
# change more files
$ git commit
## Now, to generate a patch containing your last three commits:
$ git format-patch -3 --stdout | xz > 2014-09-05.patch.xz
Then send the file '2014-09-05.patch.xz' to the mailing list.
The file should not be too big, and it will be easy for other developers to
import your changes.
