Greetings,
I've only contributed to Worg, not the Org manual. I want to submit a
change to the documentation per an earlier discussion.[1] I'm
attempting to follow the Worg suggestion for submitting patches.[2]
Here was my process
cd ~/.elisp/org.git
git pull
make clean && make
git branch org-src-preserve-whitespace
git checkout org-src-preserve-whitespace
emacs doc/org.texi
[make changes to documentation]
git commit -m "Update documentation to org-src-preserve-indentation."
git format-patch master
But no files were generated... Am I doing something incorrectly?
Here's the current output of =git status=
On branch org-src-preserve-whitespace
Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
(use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
modified: doc/org.texi
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
UPDATE: just on a whim, I did `git commit -am "notes"` and now it
works. Since the file exists, why is -am necessary vs. just -m? Or
perhaps another question is why Worg suggests just -m. Should/would
this work under some circumstance?
I can update Worg with -am if this is the proper/necessary way.
Thanks,
John
