[ Note that there were competing v2's of this patch series, one from me and one from Junio. Sorry about that; I had missed Junio's from Sunday. ] I believe this patch series now addresses all the issues raised in the discussion. * [1/4] is unchanged from Junio's v2 and is the preparatory cleanup. * [2/4] remains unchanged textually since I originally posted it and Pfeff signed off. * [3/4] is unchanged from Junio's v2 and is his clarification for what Git's --signoff means. * [4/4] is a rework of a patch from *my* v2. It takes into account Junio's comments about preferring the word "trailer" and leaving off the ':' whenever possible when discussing Signed-off-by.
