Good to see you are motivated. :)

Normally you would change the recipe directly in the git checkout. That is
within the folder you have created with git clone ...

You would change the recipe to match the new checksums and the run "git diff" to
see what changes you have in your local repository. If all looks good a "git
commit" would make a local commit of your changes which you then could prepare a
patch from and then it here.

The man pages for the different steps are available with "git help $COMMAND" and
there are some good tutorials out there for git questsions. But the command
given above should bring you through the first submission.
