Yes we had to drop a commit which proved problematic in the fixes tree.  The rule, I believe, is that only the person who transforms the email to a git tree should be the last signoff in the commit log, even if they're a tree pulling into another one and thereafter the signoffs go in the merge commit, so the signoff sent by me in the signed tag when I send the main tree to Linus is my signoff for transmitting all the commits, which includes the rebased ones in this instance.
