Hi Phill,

As Bill (and Tim?) mentioned, the source is maintained in a mercurial
repository. If you don't have direct access, you can send your patches
to me and I'll apply them. We are trying to encourage peer review of
new code, so that's my favorite workflow in any case. Established
contributors can get direct access of course.

For generating patches from your local mercurial clone, I recommend
using the MQ patch queue system for maintaining local patches. They
will sit under .hg/patches and can be easily mailed or exported from
there. Please keep patches as short as it makes sense, it is always
easier to merge smaller patches than to split a big one. There should
not be multiple independent changes in one patch, and smaller ones are
easier to understand and review.

If you are into git but not into mercurial, it is fine to manage the
"delta" with git and send me git patches instead.

Regards,
Tormod
