Hello All,

I would like to start working on some kernel-janitor stuff, and I've cloned Linus' tree using Cogito (cg-clone). My issue is that I can't find any documentation on how I would go about working on this tree now, like if I make a change, how do I create a patch that I can send off to kernel-janitors, and LKML, similarly, how would I reset my tree to be exactly like Linus' if I muck something up badly. Is there a document out there describing the usage of Cogito, or can someone outline the basics of using Cogito to dump my changes for distribution? Thanks for your help!

just a note:

If you want to learn about Cogito, you can use Linus' git tree.

But if all you want is to send some patches, you can as well work from the latest -kj or -mm tree without using any source code management system.

        of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
       "Only a promise," Lao Er said.
