Also dropping > their authorship isn't nice. What could we agree on? You probably don't want to change authorship unless the final patch is really far from the original one. In which case you can change it and mention the original author name in the commit log. If you have only made a few changes on top of the original patch, please say so explicitely in the commit log. Don't bother if we're talking about small changes or cosmetic ones. But your commit log has to be readable and clear. Cheers, Samuel. -- Intel Open Source Technology Centre http://oss.intel.com/
