Yes, I'll occasionally do patches which were written by "A" as: From: A ... Signed-off-by: B And that comes through email as: ... From: <akpm@osdl.org> ... From: A ... Signed-off-by: B which means that the algorithm for identifying the author is "the final From:". I guess the bug here is the use of From: to identify the primary author, because transporting the patch via email adds ambiguity. Maybe we should introduce "^Author:"? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Sat May 28 06:51:11 2005
