Now that we're using git, we can make a distinction between Author and Committer, automatically. When people create patches with 'git format-patch' and send them to this list for inclusion, the patch will include them as the Author. When Daniel, et. al. then applies the patch (with 'git am' or similar method), they will be the Committer. This is nice because 'git log', 'git shortlog', etc... will give the appropriate credit to the author, and the committer doesn't need to keep writing in the commit msg who the patch came from. Just an FYI to those new to git. -- Garry Dolley ARP Networks, Inc. | http://www.arpnetworks.com | (818) 206-0181 Data center, VPS, and IP Transit solutions Member Los Angeles County REACT, Unit 336 | WQGK336 Blog http://scie.nti.st -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
