Thats interesting, some of these patches should actually be credited to Carsten - and in fact on kvm.git master they are credited to Carsten.

I think the problem is, that these patches contained multiple From lines. On kvm.git the first line (Carsten) was used. When you transferred these patches to the kvm.git-2.6.26-branch, git used the next From-line as the original one was already removed.

While it is not a typical case, is there a better way of specifying multiple authors to avoid future confusion?

It's probably due to my heavy use of git cherry-pick, rebase, and rebase -i. I couldn't reproduce this with a test that mimics that workflow, so either it has been fixed already, or it's a little more subtle.

I don't think you should change anything to avoid this. I'll keep an eye open for this, and if it happens again I'll fix it locally and send a proper bug report to the git mailing list.
