Not sure about the --signoff part. The committer email/name is already silently added to the commit by git even when using --author. Moreover, When reading the "<http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.29/Documentation/SubmittingPatches#L282>12) Sign your work " section of SubmittingPatches from the linux kernel source ( http://lxr.linux.no/linux/Documentation/SubmttingPatches ), it seems to me that using SignedOffBy is useless if the initial author of the patch didn't use it : "The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the patch, which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right to <http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.29/Documentation/SubmittingPatches#L291>pass it on as a open-source patch." (snipped a lot of explanations after this sentence) Cheers, Christophe
