> From: Jeff King <me@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Pretty sure that isn't right. :) The preferred way to send a patch with a different author is to have actual email be "From:" you, but then include a: From: Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx> as the first line of the body (which git-am will then pick up). git-send-email will do this for you automatically. Other scripts (like say, if you're sending the output of format-patch into mutt) used to have to implement it themselves, but these days we have "format-patch --from", which should directly output what you want. > --- > builtin/receive-pack.c | 3 +-- > fetch-pack.c | 3 +-- > transport.c | 6 +++--- > transport.h | 2 +- > 4 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) The patch itself is flawless, of course. ;) -Peff
