Andre Thanks for the reminder. I admit that I did not know that we require it in the Contributor Guide, so thanks for pointing it out. However, your email did prompt me to look at the purpose and origin of the ‘-s’ flag and led me to this thread on Stack Overflow - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1962094/what-is-the-sign-off-feature-in-git-for.
And I am now wondering if we should require it or even use it in the first place, since it’s origin, history and purpose appears to have more “individual” legal implications then showcasing the actual committer. Thoughts? Cheers Oleg On Mar 2, 2017, at 6:35 AM, Andre <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: dev, May I remind you to ensure we follow the Contributor Guide and use: git commit --amend -s when merging commits from your peers? While git pretty-format can be used to reveal the committer, I am sure that all of us will agree that as an inclusive community we value both the pretty and ugly formats... So can we give the ugly format the support it deserves and ensure we add the neat Signed-off-by stamp to the commit message? Cheers
