mostly as a FYI, some repos dont have a c7 tree, ofcourse people are
likely not trying to submit patches for those either...

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.
