+If you are working with a git clone of the Perl repository, you will want to
+create a branch for your changes. This will make creating a proper patch much
+simpler. See the L<perlrepository> for details on how to do this.

Is not ideal imo.  It actually doesnt make creating a proper patch
simpler, and might even make it more complex.

Unfortunately I can think of a better replacement. :-(
