If the "from" line is missing, then the "From:" line from the email header will be used to determine the patch author in the changelog. I think you are using git format-patch to generate those patches, please supply --author=<author> to git commit when you commit them to your local tree. (or git am if the patches you received already had the correct From: line.) Thanks. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
