Hi Simon,
I suspect there is something wrong with Patman since commit 102061bd (patman: Avoid duplicate sign-offs).
For example, my commit log is like follows
sandbox: set sandbox's vendor to null
Because sandbox is not a real hardware, setting vendor=sandbox is almost meaningless.
This commit sets sandbox's vendor field to '-'.
It is a good thing that it decreases one level directory hierarchy. The files board/sandbox/sandbox/* have been moved to board/sandbox/*.

When I run "tools/patman/patman -c 1", Patman removes all Signed-off-by credits and checkpatch.pl reports missing Signed-off-by credit error.
1 errors, 0 warnings, 0 checks for 0001-sandbox-set-sandbox-s-vendor-to-null.patch: error: <unknown>,0: Missing Signed-off-by: line(s)
checkpatch.pl found 1 error(s), 0 warning(s), 0 checks(s)
I think this is worse than dupulicated signed-off-by.
Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
