Use
git commit -a

to have git automatically find the files you changed. Remember that a 
commit is local, and you have to 'git push' it back to KDE. A nice thing 
is that once you push, a gitweb url is displayed, so you can see online 
that the commit is there.

I'm also a little bit lost, but I'm sure we'll manage it soon ;-)
