I've already wasted enough of my time debugging aliased variables in
deeply nested loops. While not scattering variable declarations around
is a good aim I think we can make an exception for stuff used inside a
loop.

As defined earlier in this file, the opening curly brace of
functions should be placed on a separate line. So we should
do it in the examples here, too.

Using _qemu is a little confusing. Let's use _compat for these sorts

I completely botched up the merged[0] rST conversion of this document by
accidentally dropping entire hunks (!) of text. :-( I made it very hard
for reviewers to spot it, as the omitted text was buried deep in the
document. To fix my hatchet job, I reconverted the "SubmitAPatch"
wiki[1] page from scratch and replaced the existing rST with it, while
making sure I incorporated previous feedback.
In summary, in this reconverted edition:
- I did a careful (to the extent my eyes allowed) para-by-para
comparison of the wiki and the rST to make sure I didn't omit
anything accidentally.
- I made sure to work in the cosmetic feedback[2] that Thomas Huth
pointed out in the merged (and botched) edition:
- fix the hyperlinks in "Split up long patches"
- replace ".". with "does not end with a dot" (in "Write a meaningful
commit message" section)
- replace "---" with ``---`` so that it doesn't render as an em-dash
(there were two other occurrences; I fixed those too)
- Use "QEMU" spelling consistently in prose usage
- Add a consistent "refer to git-config" link where appropriate
Thanks to Thomas Huth and Alex Bennée for noticing it on IRC. And sorry
for my sloppiness.

There is no particular reason to keep this on it's own in the root of

any links to it. The only tweak I've made is to fix the code-block
