Hello, I am creating a patch set in this way: I make a change in one file, than commit it. (git commit file1) Then I make a change in a second file, than commit it. (git commit file1) and so on. Then I create a patch set thus: git-format-patch -M -s -n -o patchdir origin And a number of patch files are created, according to the number of commits I had made. Now, in each created patch file there is a line saying: Signed-off-by: root <root@hostName.(none)> Which is caused as I am doing this patches as root, and the machine name is hostName (and the domain name is none). Now, is there a way to cause git-format-patch to omit this Signed-off-by: root <root@hostName.(none)> line ? Or, altetnatively, is there a way to cause the git-format-patch to generate a differnet signed off by line (like signed off by ianbrn@xxxxxxxxx)? I had tried using the --signoff option for git-format-patch , in these two ways, but got an error: git-format-patch --signoff=ianbrn@xxxxxxxxx -M -n -o patchdir origin fatal: unrecognized argument: --signoff=ianbrn@xxxxxxxxx git-format-patch --signoff ianbrn@xxxxxxxxx -M -n -o patchdir origin fatal: ambiguous argument 'ianbrn@xxxxxxxxx': unknown revision or path not in the working tree. Use '--' to separate paths from revisions I also tried to use the -a flag for commit git-commit -a ianbrn@xxxxxxxxx but again it did not help either. Any ideas? Any help will be appreciated, Regards, Ian -- 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
