First, follow the advice in README.developers about working on
a topic branch.  Then checkout that topic branch, and use
git commit --all to create a commit on that topic branch with
the files that are modified above.

Then you use "git format-patch" to create the patch series (which
in this case will be just one patch) that we need to look at with
"git am" on our end.  For help with any git command, try

git help <commandname>

in this case <commandname> is format-patch, and that git help
command was how I learned to use "git format-patch" recently.

Also, before sending it to this list as an attachment, look at the
file produced by git format-patch to make sure it has just the changes
in it that you want and nothing else.
