It may be t-i-c, but on the other hand it might make sense to make git-commit take notice and use it. If we were to go that route, I suspect it should not be of form "# author: Who AmI <who.ami@xxxxxxxxxxx>". Maybe the updated git-commit commit log message rule could be: * If the lines in the first paragraph all begin with "From: ", or "Date: " (you do not have to override all of them), they are used to override authorship information; * If this feature is used, "Subject: " should be among the lines in the first paragraph for consistency. * Otherwise we will continue doing what we always have been doing. - 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
