Hi, yes, I extended this kind of meaning to my own patches;

what I tried to express there was that the change was reviewed,
but afterwards there was a small modification (needed for rebase),
that seemed trivial enough not to warrant stripping the reviewed-by,
but still worth mentioning in the log.

I probably should have added an additional S-o-b at the end anyway..

If you have a better suggestion on how to do this, let me know,

thanks,

Claudio
