Igniters, Let's discuss how to mention contributor name when pushing contributed patches. There are at least two ways of doing this:
1) Impersonate commit on behalf of real author. In this case commit will appear in history as if it was performed by contributor: git commit --author="John Doe <[email protected]>" 2) Commit with your (committer) name mentioning author in description: git commit -m "Cool feature. Thanks to John Doe for contribution." Please share your thoughts on which format is preferrable. I prefer the second one. It is successfully used in other big projects such as Hadoop and OpenJDK. With the first one GIT history will eventually be flooded with misspelled contributor names ("John Doe", "Jonh Doe", "Jon Do", "John Whatever") Vladimir.
