[Freeswitch-users] Newbie at patches, can someone shed light on my git issue?

[Mario G]

Thanks very much, I finally got it to work (after 12 hours), very close to yours:
Start with clean freeswitch dir
 modify source /usr/local/src/freeswitch-head/freeswitch/libs/spandsp/src/gsm0610_rpe.c
git branch gsm
git add /usr/local/src/freeswitch-head/freeswitch/libs/spandsp/src/gsm0610_rpe.c
git commit -m "Lion spandsp compat"
git format-patch -1

Many web sites have info but no a-z info for someone new to this (the FS wiki and others all assume you know git pretty well). I tried several things such as the sequence below. But all I can ever get is format-patch generating the whole program instead of just the changes. I am thinking it may have to do with what directory I put the patch in. I tried various places with no luck. Do I duplicate the freeswitch dir and compare the two? I tried using linux diff but it does not create what looks like a FS patch. Thanks,
