Okay.  I hadn't noticed before that it is just diffs you send.  I can
probably add a similar bit to our docs for new people who are unable to
use git.  I would probably still say that using git's tools are strongly
preferred.

Can I ask you to elaborate on the way you send patches?  What tools?  Is
it still `diff`?  Would you use `patch` if you were to receive one like
you make?  Do you use your regular mail client to send them?
