NOBODY EVER REBASES ANYTHING FOR SIGNED-OFF-BY. If they do, they are doing things very very wrong. Signed-off-by: is *purely* for sending patches by email. No git operations involved. None. Nada. Zilch. No rebasing involved, because there's not even a git repository involved, for chissake! Once something is in git, it's not signed off on - there should be a sign-off-chain from the author to the committer, and that's it. Anything else would be crazy. So stop the crazy rants. Stop with the bad drugs. Seriously. You're acting crazy.
