I don't do IRC (and I'm not a GCC dev :)) but I'm happy to help via email. One thing I'll say though: if you're an Emacs user then IMO you should run, not walk, to your nearest MELPA site and install the Magit package. https://magit.vc/ https://magit.vc/manual/magit/Installing-from-Melpa.html#Installing-from-Melpa It will make your day-to-day Git use much more pleasant. It provides a single "status" buffer that shows you the current state of your workspace and allows you to do everything from the very simple "commit all modified files", to the more complex "pick and choose individual diff hunks to commit". It provides Emacs-based interfaces to everything from push/pull to merging to interactive rebasing. The Emacs VC integration with Git is pretty nice, but Magit takes things to a whole different level.
