This sign-off chain suggests that the life of the patch happened in
three stages:

 - first, you wrote the patch or some component of it and passed it to
   me.
 - then, I accepted it, tweaked it so much that I felt the need to claim
   authorship and save you from blame (hence the "From:" field), and
   passed it on to Junio.
 - finally, Junio applied it to some tree.

and that you are sending out a copy of the patch Junio applied for
additional comments.

But in fact, this started with a patch from me (I don't rememember
whether it was signed off, but that doesn't matter --- I happily
retroactively sign off on it) and now you are sending it to the list
and Junio for comments.  So I would think it should simply say

	Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@xxxxxxxxx>
	Signed-off-by: Ramkumar Ramachandra <artagnon@xxxxxxxxx>

and Junio can add his sign-off below that when applying some version
to his tree.  Bonus points if you mention what tweaks you made when
you are not just passing it on.

What does this test mean?  "git cherry-pick --all" should report a
spurious conflict, and then --continue will clean it up automagically
and all will be well?
