looks like you still need to do `git commit --amend --author 'Reinhard Meyeru-boot@emk-elektronik.de'` ...
Both are valid e-mail addresses, who says the one who signs off and the one who sends the e-mail must be the same person? Its tedious to change that because its like 10 commits back in my branch. But I can do that again.
i dont think there is anything spelled out anywhere, but it's very uncommon. which is to say ive never seen anyone do it before *on purpose*, only on accident and then they wanted to fix it. being a sheeple in this scenario makes other people's lives easier because it's following the existing behavior without throwing people off. -mike
It is just that there are several commits (not only this one) which I have made before I introduced the new e-mail address (solely for u-boot purposes). It might be easier if I just change the sign-off addresses back to <info@> for those older patches. That's simple to do when I squash a correction anyway.
Or I let cat 00xxxxxx | sed s/info@emk/u-boot@emk/ | git send-email handle that... That will fix some older copyrights of mine that are reinhard.meyer@emk..., too.
