Contributing something
----------------------
If you have a fix for a bug, or the code for a new or improved feature,
first create a branch off of master:
$ git checkout -b somename
Then change the code so it does what you want, and commit it, with in the
commit message (after the one-line summary) a rationale for the change:
$ git commit -as
Then create a patch (or patches):
$ git format-patch master
Send that patch (or patches) to <nano-devel@gnu.org>, as an attachment
or with git send-email.
