Author: Niv Sardi <xaiki@xxxxxxx>
um, I thought Jeff wrote that patch.
I'm sure he did too. Every now and then our ptools -> git merge tools stuff up.


IMHO it's worth finding out why; authorship should not be taken lightly.

-Eric

yes I agree. Niv's take: Inspected by: bnaujok,jeffpc and no Signed-off

Lachlan, would that have confused the scripts?

Yes it would.
One needs the signed-off-by's.
From our sgi internal web page...

==============================================================================
Bad ptool checkin descriptions

Bad checkin descriptions for XFS to ptools are ones which are missing a one
line overall description and ones where the mod has an external author and
there is no Signed-Off-By lines for him/her.

So what you need to have is:...
The first line to be a summary description.  Then if you need further details,
then add a blank line followed by more details in further paragraphs.
Then end with the signed-off-by's.  The script needs signed-off-by to determine
real author and Linus uses the first line as a summary line in his summary code.

The script will look at the ptools mod reviewer list to add in further
signed-off-by's when it gets converted to git.  So you only need 1 signed-off-by
for the external author and if it is just an internal author, you don't need any
signed-off-bys.  (And yes ideally, the reviewers should probably be acked-by...
it is on the TODO list).
