Fair enough. Maybe it is time to suggest an easy interface to Git? You
could even write a very simple wrapper around Git that _just_ downloads
the current version of LilyPond, allows the user to edit the files and
then click another button to send the patch.
For Windows, it would be even easier: I could make a custom version of the
Git installer just for you, which comes with a Tcl/Tk interface (or uses
Git GUI right away).
Ciao,
