it sounds like the author of the original change is Dinh, but if you agreed
about authorship transfer, then "From: Thor Thayer" statement should be
correct, but in any case your SoB should follow Dinh's SoB, if you decide to
keep the latter one.
This consideration may apply to the other changes in the changeset as well.
So the patch author should be in the From:
If Thor has changed the original patch considerably, then you Thor and
Dinh could decide amongst each other who should be the author.
If Thor becomes the author and lands in From:, then the commit message
could state something like "based on original work from Dinh" or
"Originally-from: Dinh" and so on. "git log" has some examples.
The SOB chain shows who handled the patch on its way upstream. So in
this case, it should be:
SOB: Dinh (if From: is Dinh - otherwise Originally-by:)
SOB: Thor
SOB: Boris
if I'm going to pick it up and send it to Linus.
Ok?
OK. Thank you for the explanation, it is much clearer now. I apologize
for creating this confusion.
I was the original author for the previous versions of patches (1-6) but
since I was out for a portion of last year, Dinh picked up version 7 and
submitted it.
Since I'm taking it back over, Dinh and I agreed that I'll be the only
signoff from now on. Additionally, I'll make sure I'm the From: going
forward.
Thor
