Also we should recommend using "git format-patch" instead of "git diff" when attaching patches to JIRAs. This way the patch includes the author's name and email, and applying it with "git am" will preserve both.
Thanks for the reminder. Have been using <github-pr-url>.patch so far, which seems to be the same as format-patch. But "git cherry-pick" does *not* do that, I guess...
