I see that you submitted the patch.

There is no way to do commits to Apache OpenOffice via GIT.

I had not encountered that problem with Tortoise SVN on my Windows XP =
machine.  Most of my working copies are in shared folders on a home =
server, and not even that is a problem.

There have been serious performance improvements.  You might try it =
again.  You can run the command-line SVN, of course.

I had bad experience with TortoiseSVN. It puts itself in a way into the=20
Windows explorer, that the explorer becomes so slow, that it was=20
unusable. Therefore I uninstalled TortoiseSVN. For making patches that=20
other push, I did not need it.

Command 'git svn dcommit' should push the changes. But I don't know=20
whether the commit message will be transfered too or if I need something =

in addition. And I'm afraid of disturbing something, otherwise I would=20
simple try it. Perhaps I wait, whether Ariel has an answer, for he guide =

me to git-svn.

Making the patch available for review before pushing is a good idea. I=20
have attached it to https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=3D3582

Kind regards
