Well, I think you can do it yourself?

git add plugins/color3way/color3way.C
git add plugins/histogram/histogram.C

git commit

(it may ask you for name/email - just follow on-screen instructions -
copy/paste commands setting name and email)

then you might also check that EDITOR variable contain your favourite
editor. I set it to mcedit, as ex-DOS user ( I can quit from vi, but this
is about as much as I know!)

After you commited changes this way you will see them in 'git log' So you
can

git format-patch {-o dirname } long_string_git_commit

I do not know how situation with free space on server going - may be we can
replace previous test appimage with this new suggested one? I'll leave
decision.to Sam and Phyllis .....
