Hmm, interesting that it can be looked this way. I am wondering if between 10 different versions two people ping pong the ownership of the patch, then will we need to capture 5-5 signed-off-by's from each of them :) >From my understanding, that I had until now, the list of tags specify who all performed what different roles in the patch development/submission and when did that happen (sort of timeline), so last tag is added by the new handler of the patch. But adding two signed-off-by's by a single guy looks fishy, though it may actually be correct :) -- viresh
