Careful now, fast-export was also the location of my first patch. It's easy to get addicted to contributing changes to git. :-) Inside the git.git repository, there are two files that explain the basic process -- Documentation/SubmittingPatches and Documentation/CodingGuidelines. If they don't cover the process well, that's probably a bug itself, but feel free to ask on the list if you still run into questions. Those documents can be slighly overwhelming at first glance, but they've got good information. Elijah
