Comment 8 for bug 1037141

We prefer to use bzr branches over here, actually. If you run the following command, you can get the current trunk branch:
bzr branch lp:ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu

To see all the branches related to this project, head to http://code.launchpad.net/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu.

You don't necessarily need to submit a branch for your change (though it's generally preferred since it makes things easier to keep track of), but bzr can generate a diff for you in the correct format. To do that, just make your changes in the ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu folder created by the last command and run "bzr diff" to create a patch.

Using bzr also means we're (more likely) looking at the same files, which means less chance of creating a merge conflict.
