[Fwd: German translation help file]

[Till Rettig]

This is now about the help file that I wrote (more or less for myself) 
to make the translation process and work with git a bit clearer. It kind 
of combines what was there about using git on this list the last weeks, 
some hints from the wiki and reference to the README file. Han-Wen 
thought this should better be in english to be and that is sure true -- 
how do you feel about this idea? Should I translate the file to english 
so you could look how to merge it with the existing one? My idea about 
it was actually just to make some really straightforward chain of 
commands to issue in a row so in the end you would get clean apllyable 
patches.

Greetings

Can you coordinate with John M? I think it's better if this were in English
and put in the main README. Translators will be able to read ENglish anyway,
and it's the same for all languages.

if it was the last change you made, 


 git format-patch HEAD^

is a bit shorter and easier to use.
