This doesn't seem to be the best or easiest way to create patches for
individual fixes.

If you have a fix, I'd like it if you just submitted a patch instead of
first committing it and lots of other fixes to a fork of the code. Maybe
it will all be clearly ChangeLogged in the end, but this doesn't seem a
likely way to achieve that.

This has to do more with working with the codebase.. The code still has to be reviewed and a patch created before it's sent as a fix to the svn.gnome.org tree.. It's just working without a version control system is inherently difficult to see what's going on. This has nothing to do with forking code or anything like that and everything to do with making sure quality fixes and code are committed in the first place. Eventually it can die off but right now we need to test each others stuff and communicate. Due to the very fact that everyone is short on time and we probably aren't going to start [PATCH] roundabouts i'd rather have anyone that wants to change something, commit or contribute do so. We can then click a link, review, co.. test, changelog and send off to you with little issue. When things smooth out and we all trust each other and form some sort of routine we can drop it. That said, I respect your opinion here, I just disagree with it.
