[KJ] Kernel Development and Cogito

[KJ] Kernel Development and Cogito

[Gabriel Devenyi]

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.
