I'm confused, are you saying getting clone and how to mail a patch is
plenty, and
that's what you first did?  Because that is the info on that page I
would keep.  Or
are you saying all the rest was useful too (in which case I'm wrong
and it should
all stay)?

I'm sorry I got a bit abrasive with home page criticism etc., its a
frustrating situation
I feel pretty strongly the people saying the docs have problems are
correct, and that
creating more documentation is not necessarily the answer but rather
consolidating and paring down somewhat, but I guess this is hard to
do.
