Instead of a patch, you could push the feature branch to an empty github repo if you don't wish to clutter up the emacs repo with feature branches. Just add a new empty github repo named emacs-features, and then, from your feature branch: git remote add emacs-features https://github.com/esr/emacs-features git push emacs-features HEAD People who wish to take a look at the feature branch can then do something like this: git remote add esr-emacs-features https://github.com/esr/emacs-features git fetch esr-emacs-features git checkout master git checkout -b my-test-of-new-vc-mode git merge esr-emacs-features/name-of-feature-branch (replace "name-of-feature-branch" with the actual name of the feature branch)
