It is better (i.e., easier for us) if you commit your work locally
(possibly on a branch), with a suitable commit comment, and then prepare
that commit using git-format-patch and mail it to us.  The recipe for
doing this is on the front page of http://git-scm.com/ and explained in
git howtos.

I can commit from git-diff output too, but if you are going to send more
patches, it might be a good opportunity to learn the "preferred" way.
This will also prepare you for real write access to the git
repository...
