I've you create a big feature, you have a big patch. But it is better if
you have small pieces. With git you can always commit and you can test
while you commit. And if it works you write a mail to the mailing list
and say: "Hey, I've created a nice feature you can pull it from my git
repository."
What you get is the work of the developer in small pieces!

Yes, git works the same way as Open Source work. You can get the source,
you can modify it, you can distribute it. You distribute the source in
YOUR git repository. Other people can pull your work from there.
