How to offer a patch

[Burn Alting]

All,

I've made some mods to auditctl to allow it to read a directory of 'rule
files'. The idea is that within an enterprise, one would distribute a
standard /etc/audit/audit.rules which can be updated from the corporate
repository. Should a system require localized audit rules, then a
directory containing files of rules can be maintained locally. The
reasoning for a directory as opposed to just an additional file is to
offer granularity of 'rule sets'.

I would like to know the convention for patching to this list. Should I
git clone the svn repository then supply a git diff? Can I just provide
an old-fashioned diff -rupN or C_ALL=C TZ=UTC0 diff -Naur?
