now mirrors reflect only <tt>trunk</tt> for each project. You can do the
read-only GIT clone of LLVM via:</p>
-<pre>
-% git clone http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git
+<pre class="doc_code">
+git clone http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git
+</pre>
+
+<p>If you want to check out clang too, run:</p>
+
+<pre class="doc_code">
+git clone http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git
+cd llvm/tools
+git clone http://llvm.org/git/clang.git
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+Since the upstream repository is in Subversion, you should use
+<tt>"git pull --rebase"</tt>
+instead of <tt>"git pull"</tt> to avoid generating a non-linear
+history in your clone.
+To configure <tt>"git pull"</tt> to pass <tt>--rebase</tt> by default
+on the master branch, run the following command:
+</p>
+
+<pre class="doc_code">
+git config branch.master.rebase true
+</pre>
+
+<h4>Sending patches with Git</h4>
+<div>
+<p>
+Please read <a href="DeveloperPolicy.html#patches">Developer Policy</a>, too.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Assume <tt>master</tt> points the upstream and <tt>mybranch</tt> points your
+working branch, and <tt>mybranch</tt> is rebased onto <tt>master</tt>.
+At first you may check sanity of whitespaces:
+</p>
+
+<pre class="doc_code">
+git diff --check master..mybranch
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+The easiest way to generate a patch is as below:
+</p>
+
+<pre class="doc_code">
+git diff master..mybranch > /path/to/mybranch.diff
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+It is a little different from svn-generated diff. git-diff-generated diff has
+prefixes like <tt>a/</tt> and <tt>b/</tt>. Don't worry, most developers might
+know it could be accepted with <tt>patch -p1 -N</tt>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+But you may generate patchset with git-format-patch. It generates
+by-each-commit patchset. To generate patch files to attach to your article:
+</p>
+
+<pre class="doc_code">
+git format-patch --no-attach master..mybranch -o /path/to/your/patchset
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+If you would like to send patches directly, you may use git-send-email or
+git-imap-send. Here is an example to generate the patchset in Gmail's [Drafts].
+</p>
+
+<pre class="doc_code">
+git format-patch --attach master..mybranch --stdout | git imap-send
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+Then, your .git/config should have [imap] sections.
+</p>
+
+<pre class="doc_code">
+[imap]
+ host = imaps://imap.gmail.com
+ user = <em>your.gmail.account</em>@gmail.com
+ pass = <em>himitsu!</em>
+ port = 993
+ sslverify = false
+; in English
+ folder = "[Gmail]/Drafts"
+; example for Japanese, "Modified UTF-7" encoded.
+ folder = "[Gmail]/&Tgtm+DBN-"
</pre>

+<h4>For developers to work with git-svn</h4>
+<div>
+
+<p>To set up clone from which you can submit code using
+ <tt>git-svn</tt>, run:</p>
+
+<pre class="doc_code">
+git clone http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git
+cd llvm
+git svn init https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk --username=<username>
+git config svn-remote.svn.fetch :refs/remotes/origin/master
+git svn rebase -l # -l avoids fetching ahead of the git mirror.
+
+# If you have clang too:
+cd tools
+git clone http://llvm.org/git/clang.git
+cd clang
+git svn init https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/trunk --username=<username>
+git config svn-remote.svn.fetch :refs/remotes/origin/master
+git svn rebase -l
+</pre>
+
+<p>To update this clone without generating git-svn tags that conflict
+with the upstream git repo, run:</p>
+
+<pre class="doc_code">
+git fetch && (cd tools/clang && git fetch) # Get matching revisions of both trees.
+git checkout master
+git svn rebase -l
+(cd tools/clang &&
+ git checkout master &&
+ git svn rebase -l)
+</pre>
+
+<p>This leaves your working directories on their master branches, so
+you'll need to <tt>checkout</tt> each working branch individually and
+<tt>rebase</tt> it on top of its parent branch. (Note: This script is
+intended for relative newbies to git. If you have more experience,
+you can likely improve on it.)</p>
+
+<p>The git-svn metadata can get out of sync after you mess around with
+branches and <code>dcommit</code>. When that happens, <code>git svn
+dcommit</code> stops working, complaining about files with uncommitted
+changes. The fix is to rebuild the metadata:</p>
+
+<pre class="doc_code">
+rm -rf .git/svn
+git svn rebase -l
+</pre>
+
+</div>
