I have been using it with a personal project and so I'm familiar with the basics. However I need to share code with a co-developer. He also has a code base that I need access to. For several reasons, a shared server will not work so I was thinking of using email to send patches back and forth. My question is related to the initial setup and sharing of our repositories. Would it be necessary for each of us to make a clone and make a tarball of that clone to send to one another before we can send patches? The documentation is all based on using a git or ssh server to set this up. Thank you for any insights you can provide me! Annard
