i tried this and stuffed it up.  my patches are one-after-the-other and
there is a fair bit of overlap, so I thought i'd start with just 1 branch
...

git clone etc
cd libkdtree
git checkout -b paulharris/bugfixes master
git am ../0001
git am ../0002
git am ../0002

so all looks good... now what?
git push says "everything up-to-date"

? i just don't get git ?
