Hmm, how should things like signed-off-by be handled? You may want to allow many entries with the same key with distinct values, but duplicated values may want to be handled differently (currently we only avoid to place a duplicate <key, value> consecutively, but keys with different semantics (e.g. "fixes-bug: #bugid") may want to say "unless the same key with the same value exists, append it at the end". -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
