positive.code: Before you can commit a patch, you need to determine how the patch was created.
  The instructions and preferences around the way to create patches have changed, and there will be a transition period.
  +
  * .Determine How a Patch Was Created: If the first few lines of the patch look like the headers of an email, with a From, Date, and Subject, it was created using +git format-patch+.
    This is the preference, because you can reuse the submitter's commit message.
    If the commit message is not appropriate, you can still use the commit, then run the command +git
    rebase -i origin/master+, and squash and reword as appropriate.
  * If the first line of the patch looks similar to the following, it was created using +git diff+                                        without `--no-prefix`.
    This is acceptable too.
    Notice the `a` and `b` in front of the file names.
  
negative.code: Under the _dev-support/_ folder, you will find _hbase_eclipse_formatter.xml_.
  We encourage you to have this formatter in place in eclipse when editing HBase code.
  
  Go to `Preferences->Java->Code Style->Formatter->Import` to load the xml file.
  Go to `Preferences->Java->Editor->Save Actions`, and make sure 'Format source code' and 'Format
  edited lines' is selected.
  
  In addition to the automatic formatting, make sure you follow the style guidelines explained in
  <<common.patch.feedback,common.patch.feedback>>.
