It seems you didn't commit your changes in the local folder, so git 
send-email sent the last commit in your sources.

Here is a generic how-to (probably inefficient as there are likely 
better ways to rebase, but you aren't doing many changes anyway):

1. git clone <latest lede sources>
(in a new folder)
2. make your changes
(this is rebasing, LEDE sources have changed since your last download, 
and you must send your commit over the latest sources or it will likely 
fail to merge)
3. git add .
(this will add all changes you did to git tracking)
4. git commit
(it will open the commit text editor, you should write the commit 
title/subject as first line, then leave a blank line, then write the 
commit message, save and close the editor to commit)

5.git send-email -1 --annotate
(this takes the last commit and will also load again a text editor so 
you can edit the mail subject like adding [LEDE-DEV], and check that 
what you are sending is indeed your commit, you can abort by pressing 
Ctrl+C)


I think that git by default uses vim as text editor (or at least does so 
on OpenSUSE), if you don't like vim (like me), you can change that by 
writing

git config --global core.editor "text-editor-name"

where by "text-editor-name" you place nano, or gedit, or whatever is the 
text editor you want.

p.s. once you sent this patch successfully I'm probably going to add 
this quick guide to the wiki.
