Hi Andrew and Greg,
Currently, all the patches that are submitted via Greg are marked as
authored by Greg. Actually, the author is named in the first
Signed-off-by line (often Greg himself, sometimes someone other).
Would it be possible to fix the patch submission scheme so that the real
author is credited ?
Thanks in advance
Philippe

The easiest GIT way to do this is to put a
From: <your name>
in the body of the description; then everything automatically flows from
there..

Currently if I submit a patch that was sent to me with a
Signed-off-by line I just add mine underneath it and send.
If the patch didn't come with a Signed-off-by then I put the
original author in a "From" line at the top of the submission.
Looks like I should always add a "From" line.
Regards
Greg

That's fine. Thanks. I didn't know either about the From: field.
