+Abstract: In this article, JC talks about how he rebases the
+ public "pu" branch using the core GIT tools when he updates
+ the "master" branch, and how "rebase" works. Also discussed
+ is how this applies to individual developers who sends patches
+ upstream.

So I started from master, made a bunch of edits, and committed:
$ git checkout master
- $ cd Documentation; ed git.txt git-apply-patch-script.txt ...
+ $ cd Documentation; ed git.txt ...
$ cd ..; git add Documentation/*.txt
$ git commit -s -v
This creates two files, 0001-XXXX.txt and 0002-XXXX.txt. Send
them out "To: " your project maintainer and "Cc: " your mailing
-list. You could use contributed script git-send-email-script if
+list. You could use contributed script git-send-email if
your host has necessary perl modules for this, but your usual
MUA would do as long as it does not corrupt whitespaces in the
patch.
