And long after sending the response, I realize that this has very
little to do with "Git's patch flow" issue that you wanted to
discuss.  Helping newbies wet their toes may be a topic worth
discussing, but that is not the focus of this thread.

Let me send a response to describe my pain points separately.
Sorry for the noise.
