Sorry Carl, some quick help but I'm in the middle of a pile of
non-ipython things so I'll have to keep this brief.  Basically you
need to:

1. clik the 'fork' button on the ipython-website repo so you have your own fork
2. clone that fork locally to your computer
3. check out the 0.13 branch (the one Thomas made)
4. make a *new* branch off that one, with your new commits, say '0.13-carl'
5. push that new branch to *your* fork on github
6. got to github, and ask for a pull request from '0.13-carl' in your
repo to '0.13' in the official repo.

This is the standard PR workflow, with only one twist: that you're
branching off a branch other than master, step 3 above.

I hope this sketch gets you going, with a bit of manual
experimentation until you're comfortable with the details.

Cheers,
