Even if I get the patches from somewhere else, say the SuSE RPM, I will try to determine the author, and use that as the author field in the patches. If I put a From: The Original Author <author@...ginal.com> in the patch before I suck it in using git am, it will use the original author in the Author field. I will add my Signed-off-by, preserving the other Signed-off-by's, and my name will appear in the Committer field, which is as it should be. -- Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
