Ok, I read the relevant sections.

I already have some experience with git. At least I know the basic commands.

Are these the same files as the ones I have in 

~/lilypond/Documentation/notation 

and 

~/lilypond/input/regression 

after downloading the main source code with git?

Just to make sure that I understood:
I copy the file modern-tab-text-clef.ly from

Documentation/snippets/

to

Documentation/snippets/new/

and replace the complete content of the old file in Documentation/snippets/modern-tab-text-clef.ly by \markup {This snippet is obsolete as of version 2.13.4}, right?

I'm quite sure that I'll manage to create and send you git-patches, (but I will probably not be able to build documentation on my machine because of a nasty bus error I can't get rid off).
