@ilganeli this can change the author of a commit
git commit --amend --author="User Name <[email protected]>"
I think there are two options for doing this. You can attribute the entire
change to the original author or you can attribute the original code sections
to the original author and the new functions to you. This could be done by
submitting two commits. The first commit will contain all your changes and
something like a // at the end of each line of original code. The second commit
would remove the // at the end of each line of original code and will be
attributed to the original author. The second commit could have a message like
"restoring original author"
I suggest posting this pull request to the dev mailing list to get more
feedback about the readability and cleanliness of the change, since there seem
to be some differing opinions.
