Indead before I start, I examine git-commit and git-am, and find the behaviours of the two commands are different. "git commit -s" checks the last line of the footer, while "git -am" checks the last S-o-b. E.g. original commit X: commit log... Signed-off-by: A Signed-off-by: B Reported-by: C When user B amend the commit, the amended commit Y looks like: commit log... Signed-off-by: A Signed-off-by: B Reported-by: C Signed-off-by: B While if the original commit X send to user B by patch, and user B run command "git am -s", the commit would be: Signed-off-by: A Signed-off-by: B Reported-by: C So I guess duplicate S-o-b is not intentional. I use an alias for commit: git config --global alias.ci "commit -s" And will encounter duplicate S-o-b issues frequently, especially format-patch/send-email workflow. -- Jiang Xin -- 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
