[e4-dev] Git best practices

After working on my first patch [1], I ran into several difficulties creating a useful patch.  If I just committed and selected the commit from the history view, it would create a patch with my changes but it would also include many other changes.  I am assuming they are the changes from the previous commit as well, and I have triple checked to make sure I selected the right commit.  Also, after committing something I might realize a defect and have to commit the changes, but I will have to revert the previous commit because I am not able to select multiple commits to create a patch.

So I am assuming there are a number of things I am doing wrong.  Does anyone have any "best practices" or advice for a guy just starting with git & e4 development?

Thanks,

JD

ps-  I have the EGit user guide and I reference that as much as possible. [2]
