Paolo's signed-off is missing.

Yes, it is a result of our workflow and there are many more patches like
that. In this case, I originally committed the patch on 08-03 and Paolo
rebased the branch on 08-07.

We rebase when testing discovers bugs and for the first few release
candidates (when there are not enough changes to put into next).

Should all rebases be done with the --signoff option?

Thanks.

Hi Radim,

More or less. rebase with the --signoff option will add a duplicate
Signed-off-by unless the already existing one is last in the current
commit.

Linus has said that doing a rebase is no different to applying a patch,
so a new committer needs to add a Signed-off-by tag.

Fixed at the same time as resolving the conflicts.
