So I wrote up a nice tidy patch series with mailinfo changes and tests, and then am/rebase changes and tests on top of that. And guess what I noticed? My rebase tests didn't actually fail with stock git. I bisected to 43c2325 (am: use get_author_ident_from_commit instead of mailinfo when rebasing, 2010-06-16), which was written to handle exactly this sort of thing. That commit made it into v1.7.2. JT, which version of git are you running? Do you still see any problems with v1.7.2 and above? I can't replicate your issue with more recent versions. So unless we want to do any sort of commit-time warning, I don't think there is anything left to be done on this topic. -Peff -- 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
