You could have actually _kept_ the proper authorship information so that git shows who wrote the patch.

As to how to actually do that, well, I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader (hint, we document how to do this quite well...) greg k-h _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
