MediaCenter Progress

[Christophe Olinger]

Hey,

I have a probably very stupid svn question:
If I submit my patch, how do I continue working on my project until
the patch is accepted?. I suppose I still need to change things in the
patch before it can go into playground. How do I send you guys a new
patch without the changes that I have done after submitting the patch
ending up in a newer patch?
(Sorry, I am very new to collaborative working :-))

BTW, I use KDevelop4 beta 9. It's great!

Cheers,

Chris
