I guess we can solve this by adding From: < author name > in the patches. This will make sure when the patches get applied to linus tree we have the right author. with the below diff to noextent_mount option patch i get the below history when applying the patches using stgit via stgit --import --series diff --git a/ext4_noextent_mount_opt.patch b/ext4_noextent_mount_opt.patch index c349afb..e9a8d6f 100644 --- a/ext4_noextent_mount_opt.patch +++ b/ext4_noextent_mount_opt.patch @@ -1,3 +1,4 @@ +From: Mingming Cao Add a mount option to turn off extents.
