We can read Sign-off. Signed-off-by doesn't quite have the right meaning, since normally a chain of signoffs just indicates the chain of review, not necessarily authorship. We brought this up at one point previously[1], and Jonathan Nieder pointed to previous discussions about this, with the apparent conclusion to use another pseudo-header to indicate co-authorship. (Also why we originally put it in the same paragraph as the signed-off-by.) Documentation/SubmittingPatches also mentions the possibility of adding extra pseudo-headers similar to Signed-off-by, as appropriate. We really did write these patches (and commit messages) sitting right next to each other and switching off with the same keyboard. :) - Josh Triplett and Jamey Sharp [1] http://bugs.debian.org/451880 -- 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
