Hey

if you use Windows XP/Vista, here's how to make patches:

with msysGit (Git GUI) to Creating a Patch

When you finish with your amendments in Source code,

right click on the folder (with MaNGOS Source)

and select Git GUI Here

and you'll see in the column "Unstaged Changes"

the file in which you made changes (at the front is an icon)

important: do not click on the icon

Next from the main menu select:

Repository -> Visualize master's History

and you'll see at the top - this line:

Local uncommitted changes, not checked in to index

then right click on this line, and select "Make patch"

(the line should not be highlighted)

EDIT:

then open the new patch and see what you do wrong
