But isn't the problem that the patches don't get into the central
repository?

Though I've write access to the fpc repository ;) I've also several
local "branches" (actually plain copies of my fpc checkout) with some
changes in it.

But if it's not feasible for you, you can still use git-svn, no?

BTW: An fpc/lazarus git repository would be really no fun: due to the
flaky connection a git clone of a converted repository is from
svn.freepascal.org basically not possible, at least not for me from germany.
