I checked this and it should be fine.  The author is actually wrong in
the commit.  Sara is the actual author and we have her S-o-B in the
commit.

I have no idea how Gregory became the author in that commit, though.  I
checked exactly how I committed it and checked the author in our
internal tree.  It's all fine, but for some really weird reason that I
can't figure out, Gregory became the author of the commit when I
applied that patch.  The AuthorDate is also wrong.  I checked my bash
history to see how I applied the patch and everything looks normal...
*confused*
