The CGL cleanup have been committed to the Core directly for
typo3/sysext/version and ~/workspaces. However I remember that I also
gave a positive vote on that change and did not realize that conflict.
For example this is something the submodule would solve - to take care
of the correct repository of external projects.

One you have initialized the submodules (e.g. on master) by

# git pull
# git submodule update --init

you can just do your changes to typo3/sysext/version/<filename>, switch
to that directory and push it to the accordant repository

# cd typo3/sysext/version/
# git add <filename>
# git commit
# git push origin HEAD:refs/for/master/<issuenumber>

Then if you go back to the root of your local Git repository and do a diff

# git diff

you'll see something like this

index 10994a5..298a868 160000
--- a/typo3/sysext/version
+++ b/typo3/sysext/version
@@ -1 +1 @@
-Subproject commit 10994a5704cef2fc9094c68ab14109edd54b7b04
+Subproject commit 298a8688f2a6052469d68776ce28404a5493389e

Actually this is the submodule pointer that was changed to point to your
recent change in the submodule in typo3/sysext/version.

For TYPO3_4-5 ist basically the same, however the workspaces/version
branch there is called "4.5", thus it would be

# ....
# git push origin HEAD:refs/for/4.5/<issuenumber>

See the accordant projects:

http://git.typo3.org/TYPO3v4/CoreProjects/workspaces/workspaces.git

Cheers,
