It certainly does *not* imply single-handed authorship as you suggest above. I'll grant that you are correct in your speculation that at the time I wrote the words above, in my *mind* I more-or-less assumed that Raghav had authored the commit. After all, Raghav digitally signed and pushed the commit, whose metadata indicated that he was the sole author. However, I never *wrote* anything that implied he was the sole author. Therefore, I still maintain that in my actual communications, I didn't "fumble on the facts" *at all*. I'm going to _try_ to refrain from responding again, because in order for this exchange to be finite, *one* of us must eventually let the other one have the final word.
