I'm trying to get this back in after we switched to git:

All seems good except some whitespace fixes. Making the fix is easy, submitting it through git is where I need help.
Problem is I can't seem to get correct the sequence of commands. Right now I would...
git clone... make gitconfig Do the cleanup git add the files git commit git rebase -i master git push origin
and now I don't know if I have done it right. At one time gerrit rejected my submit, on next try the second submitted is identical to the first. Another problem is a few other commits gets merged into master in the meantime and it wants me to merge them in my local before accepting my push, which is making me feel lost.
At this point should i expect an incremental commit with the original, submitted commit being the parent? How do I make sure gerrit know this is for the same Change-Id?
I'll admit before this I have never used git, and yes, I have read the few sites about this.
Thanks for your help.
An incremental commit on the same change ID needs to have the entire commit you want to make. You can't have two commits with one change-id. What you want to do is edit your commit, rebase -i, and edit the commit. You best option for getting more help is in #coreboot.
