Alternatively, you can give me your ssh public key, and I can setup a
repo for you.
2) create your own branch to work on
You don't need to do anything to create a branch; this is done
automatically when you start working on a new clone. You may
optionally give your branch a bookmark so it's easier to refer to it.
To do this, just do "hg bookmark your-bookmark-name". You can then
later just tell me to pull that bookmark. This is just a naming
convention; without the bookmark, you need to give me or someone else
the hash of the changes that should be pulled.
3) push changesets to your public repo regularly
4) pull from the default branch in the main Octave repo and merge
into your branch very often.
Yes, these two are fine.
The whole process should be "easy", once we setup some hosting for
your clone, but you can already start doing this without any public
hosting.
