Why would listing branches be necessary?
mostly as a FYI, some repos dont have a c7 tree, ofcourse people are likely not trying to submit patches for those either...
$ git checkout c7
<snip>
$ git rev-parse HEAD > `whoami`.start-point

These could be replace with `git format-patch origin/c7` (or `git format-patch "@{upstream}"`).
if that is where one starts from, internally we pass git repos around so we dont always need to start from HEAD. I would assume that as people get friendlier with this, they will just git branch my-branch etc and not do edits in the c7/ branch ( given that they cant push back to c7 anyway ).
please, submit patches that make this process easier as a getting-started guide.
