It would be interesting to look at. if there are no strong restrictions, please email it to ${my sourceforge login}@users.sourceforge.net

Never mind. git is very convenient, you'll master it in no time.

I think some your changes have been committed and other not. you can check your commits
with 'git log'. to modify the latest commit, I use 'git commit --amend .'; it will remove the latest commit and create new one based on the current state of the files; the attributes (e.g. date) will be the same as of the removed commit unless you edit the log message.

Now you can, for example, 'git format-patch -o $HOME HEAD~1';
this command should put a nice patch file with the log message and other information into your home directory.
