Yes we had to drop a commit which proved problematic in the fixes tree.
 The rule, I believe, is that only the person who transforms the email
to a git tree should be the last signoff in the commit log, even if
they're a tree pulling into another one and thereafter the signoffs go
in the merge commit, so the signoff sent by me in the signed tag when I
send the main tree to Linus is my signoff for transmitting all the
commits, which includes the rebased ones in this instance.
