Meaning of "Signed-off-by"

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

Does the man-pages project define the meaning of the "Signed-off-by"
clause in a commit message? Per git-commit(1),

> The meaning of a signoff depends on the project to which you're committing.

But I couldn't find a reference to the meaning for man-pages. Is it
the same as the linux kernel [1]?

Since I couldn't find the meaning, I submitted a patch (which was
subsequently accepted) without signing off on it. Sorry about that.

Thank you,
