I found a documentation "bug": literally following the instructions for ticket creation and updates at http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/developer/git_trac.html results in the publication of empty tickets, because there's no mention of *committing* changes. This is now ticket 18504:
http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/18504 If I were to fix these instructions, I would add something along the lines of, "Now, edit some files. You can save the changes you have made by typing 'git commit -a' and recording a commit message. Your commit message should be a short summary of what you have done, featuring an evocative verb." However, I am by no means a git expert. Are there other important commands we should recommend here? --Ursula. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
