    Whoops, you're right.

    I'm using "git am -s" and that's not picking up your Signed-off-by line
    for some reason.  Looking at the mail....

    Oh, I see, your mail looked in part like:

      However, in order to save the client doing a COMMIT as a separate
      rpc, the server can reply back with NFS_FILE_SYNC copy. This patch
      proposed to add vfs_fsync() call at the end of the async copy.

      --- v2: moved the committed argument into the nfsd4_copy structure

      Signed-off-by: Olga Kornievskaia <kolga@...app.com>
      ---
       fs/nfsd/nfs4proc.c | 14 +++++++++++++-
        fs/nfsd/xdr4.h     |  1 +
         2 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)

    But git uses "---" to mark the end of the changelog.  That allows you to
    include the diffstat, or any other notes that you want included in the
    mail but not in the final changelog.

    That "v2:" note is probably also something that belongs in the mail but
    not the changelog, so in future if you just move that kind of thing to
    after the Signed-off-by line, git-am will do the right thing.

[olga] Ah, thank you for figuring it out. Do you need another version or can you move the line?
