Just attaching a git patch > seems much easier. It seems like it should be easier to just send a patch, but feedback we're getting shows that it's not for a number of developers. Many don't use mail at all for development, and all they're used to is the GitLab/Hub way of doing it. So it's easier for them -- it feels safe and familiar for them to do development by clicking around in a web browser. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
