I’d say yes. You can commit to your local repository and use “git  
format-patch -1” to make the patches. Change the number to match the  
number of commits you have made.

In addition, remember that rake spec runs the tests in tests/core, which  
isn’t the same as the git tests.

Jim,  
  
  
I put the patch on the rubyforge while I am getting used to GIT. Sorry.  
[#21102] Updated File/Zero method to handle NUL  
I am running all the spec against my sample codes I have and instead of  
sending one by one I will try to send couple of them together.  
  
Thanks.
