Hi,

Yes - that's a good example.

You'll need to checkout the entire distribution with
    svn co http://html-formfu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/HTML-FormFu-Model-DBIC

The test schema is described in t/lib/MySchema/
If there's no suitable repeatable->repeatable relationships - if you
create any new tables, then as well as updating the schema, you'll
also need to update new_db() in t/lib/DBICTestLib.pm which is called
by each test file to create the sqlite database.

Rather than `make test`, I prefer using `prove` to run the test files,
as it lets you run an individual test file.
You'll need to install Test-Harness to get `prove`.
    prove -l t/update/has_many_repeatable.t

To create a patch file, you'll need to add any new files with `svn add filename`
and then create the patch file with `svn diff > patchfile`

Good luck!
Carl
