Hi all, Another developer and I collaborated to design and write a series of four patches. Of course, we will both use the "Co-developed-by" and "Signed-off- by" tags on each of the four works that make up the series. However, there is a small problem that we would like to solve. Git-log only displays a single name preceded by "Author:", so the reader of "git log -- pretty = short" will only be shown one of our names. We would like git-log to show one name after "Author:" in 1/4 and 4/4 and the other name in 2/4 and 3/4. This arbitrary breakdown is based on the fact that approximately 80% -90% of the lines of code from the first patch group were actually written by one of the two co-developers and approximately 80% -90% of the second patch group was written by the other. I guess Git will label anyone who submits the whole series as "Author"; works like this or am I wrong? If so, I guess if my friend sends patches 0/4, 1/4 and 4/4 then I should find a way to send 2/4 and 3/4 somehow that makes it clear to the maintainer, the tool that uses to apply the series, and the reviewers, which also 2/4 and 3/4 belong to the same series as 0/4, 1/4 and 4/4. How can we achieve this? Thanks, Fabio _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
