However I always read through my messages before sending them and it is way easier to delete that line than typing/copying it. I suppose if A changes a patch which originated from B he also needs to be nice and delete that the sign-off line from B (at least initially). I don't know but if I am preparing to send a patch and *see* my signed-off line in the message I am conscious about it! I see this more as another customization. Some people tend to forget to add the signed-off and others might tend to forget to delete it. It should be on you to find out what type you are. cheers Heiko -- 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
