Quite often, I've sent a patch off to some project only to have the maintainer `tweak' the result before making a commit. However, I frankly don't want my name attached to someone else's work, because I may disagree with what has been done. Were übercommits available, the maintainer could commit my original work and then make a new `tweak' commit and then bundle the 2 together as an übercommit in order to encapsulate this series of events. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
