[pde-dev] Due diligence for github contributions

[Curtis Windatt <Curtis_Windatt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

With a github account you can fork the
pde git repository and commit fixes to your fork.  Contributors can
provide fixes to Eclipse through github pull requests.  Committers
must follow the due diligence process outlined at:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/Handling_Git_Contributions

It is possible to do most of the process
through eGit. I had to add the remote from the command line, but then browsing
the history and cherry picking the correct commit was straightforward.
 While it should happen automatically, double check that the author
remains as the contributor while the commiter is set to your id/email.
 Links to the pull request or proposed commit hash, as well as the
commit in the remote/origin repository must be added as comments on the
bug.  Don't forget to mark the bug as iplog+.
