I think it would be best for you to have that in a personal fork of git on repo.or.cz. It is really easy to set up, and working with you will be easier, since one can always "git fetch" your newest stuff. Then, I would recommend making many many small patches. You can always reorder/squash them with "git rebase -i" later, and you will probably need to rebase them to newer upstream revisions anyway. Ciao, Dscho
