It's also possible for people without gnus git repo write access, to: - make changes as local branches in the local repo - push their local repo to some publicly readable repo (eg. on github) Then Lars, or whoever is integrating the patches, can: - add the publicly available repository as a remote - fetch from that repository - merge branches from that repository into git master I have to admit that git is really quite clever...
