Yes, it does set things up properly. I first acquired the repo using
the git-clone command and now I grab updates just fine with git pull

still using diff to make patches.
You might be interested in 'git format-patch', which can turn a bunch of
commits into mail-like files including the author and the commit message,
and which can be applied using 'git am', or sent via 'git send-email'.
Jon should be especially interested in git format-patch, since
that's the official CG way of creating patches and we're supposed
to be eating this month. ;)

Ok I'm reading about these git patch commands in CG. Am I correct in
thinking that it creates the patch by comparing my local (changed) file
with the corresponding file in the remote git repository? I've been
doing this locally by saving a working copy of the file under a
different filename, then running the diff -u command on the two local
files to create the patch. I guess the way for me to feel more
comfortable with the git format-patch command would be to create a local
backup of the file I'm going to edit before doing any edits. Somehow
I'm loathe to work directly on the source files...
Jon
