That might be true for the current state of affairs. However, there *are* cases (I think I even linked to my original mail with my post-GitMerge 2017 analysis) where the triplet Date/Author/Email is not enough, where even some patch series have the identical triplet for every single patch. Even if I did not hit those cases yet, and therefore did not implement that part, I needed to keep the door open for that. So I need a clone. Ciao, Dscho
