One distinction between commit, cherry-pick, am, and format-patch is that the first three are related to importing commits _into_ your own repository while format-patch is related to exporting patches _from_ your repository. Not sure if an "exporting" operation should be treated differently from an "importing" operation and mean "add my sign-off only if I did not previously do so when I did commit, cherry-pick, or am" or whether it should mean the same thing i.e. "append my sign-off, unless it's already last". Just pointing something out that may or may not be useful. Hmm, actually, this series could provide a data point. When I submitted the first series, I used 'format-patch -s' to append my sob. When Jonathan reviewed the series, he provided Acked-by and Reviewed-by which I collected and added as I reworked the series. When I added Jonathan's Ack's/Rev-by's, I _appended_ them to the commits that I had already submitted, so they appeared _after_ my own sob. When I submitted the later iterations of the series, I probably used 'format-patch -s' again and I of course did not want an additional sob to be appended after Jonathan's Acks. -Brandon ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential information.
