That isn't the Koha Git repo, although it does look like whoever is
managing it is keeping it reasonably in sync[0]. The real koha git repo
is here:

http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=summary

Master doesn't stop at 7475, it's just that that was the last thing that
is in master that touched those files.

No, not until 8665 gets signed off and pulled into master.

Typically you will use git to apply the patch from bugzilla.
Copy/pasting lines is quite likely to cause you errors.

Best is to make a local copy based on the guide here:

http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Version_Control_Using_Git

which combined with this:

http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Git_bz_configuration

makes it very easy to apply patches from bugzilla.

There will be a significant learning curve, git is a developer tool, and
applying patches is something of an advanced topic.

[0] grumble grumble Free software grumble should be using Gitorious[1]
instead of proprietary github grumble.

[1] maybe we should consider a gitorious installation alongside the
gitweb one, it'd be especially useful for offshoot type projects, like
the migration tools one[2].
