I think it might be better attribution to use --author="(author)", if this is for attribution.
That way the authorship can go to the person who authored the patch; committer will remain the committer's name. Just for a preview, I just made a test commit to a review branch on my github, so if interested in what that might look like: https://github.com/carlyeks/thrift/commit/2f96496856710c4bbff1890241b064561e0da2c6 On Jun 20, 2013, at 12:44 AM, Roger Meier <[email protected]> wrote: what about using the signoff feature for contributions? git commit --signoff -a -m "THRIFT-XXXX lang: description" roger ;-r
