| Hi,
| 
| Is there a FreeBSD document somewhere that explains how to
| work with patches?  As experienced FreeBSD developers, we often take
| this for granted, but a lot of newbies do not.
| Something that explains how to create a patch, how to apply a patch, etc.
| would be useful.  It would actually be useful to have this, not just
| for FreeBSD, but for other open source projects.
