To say the truth, I find it difficult to send small patches with the current mechanism.
Perhaps I am missing something there.
Usually I have my private repository with many many changes, which have accumulated due to the usage of the library.
If I use the upload tool, it tries to upload everything (and thus creating a huge patch).
If I diff and send the patch, the online system does not accept it.

How can I send then a patch with only a subset of my changes in my local copy? What are the expected diff structure. to manually define changes with diff?
