Feel free to write whatever you want in your own branches, but try to have the

It is important to follow this convention because many git tools (such as Gitorious
and the gitweb web interfaces, as well as `git format-patch`, and even `git
log`!) rely on this convention when parsing commit messages.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first step to contribute is to clone a source repository:

git clone git://github.com/kelvie/basket.git
git clone git://gitorious.org/basket/basket.git

Now you can hack away at it to your hearts content. When you have a series of
patches ready to be merged with my changes, first make sure your master is up to
date with mine:
You should do this through the Gitorious web interface. When you have a series of
patches ready to be merged with upstream, first make sure your master is up to
date:

git pull git://github.com/kelvie/basket.git master
git pull git://gitorious.org/basket/basket.git master

(or if you cloned from my repository, just `git pull` will suffice), and ask me
to pull your changes, if you have published them, or use `git format-patch` to
create a series of patches and post them to the mailing list.

If you want to continue contributing, feel free to fork the main repository on
Github (http://github.com/kelvie/basket/tree/) or repo.or.cz and send pull
requests there.
Then push your changes to your repository on Gitorious and then submit a merge
request against the main repository.
