My workflow has been to use git format-patch (1.7.9.5 was shipped with my distro), edit the cover letter then use and mutt to send the generated emails. Before that I used git apply to import the patches that Christoph sent me. I thought about it too, but hand editing the email generated by format-patch to essentially having me take credit for this sounded like a shady thing to do. The updated version of git's (2.1.0) format-patch doesn't change the from email address field either. The submitting patches document doesn't really describe what to do if you take patches / collaborate with somebody else or how to credit the original author. It only deals with the case of a subsystem maintainers editing the submitters code to fix it up. All that aside, if somebody has a clear workflow that ensures this doesn't happen I'm more then willing to follow it. -- Milosz Tanski CTO 16 East 34th Street, 15th floor New York, NY 10016 p: 646-253-9055 e: mil...@adfin.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
