Subject: finding the author of the patches in ext4-patch-queue
Date: Wed, 04 Jul 2007 10:37:01 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <468B2AF5.5060207@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

Hi Mingming,

With respect to ext4-patch-queue it is kind of difficult to find who wrote the patch.
I guess we can solve this by adding From: < author name > in the patches. This will make sure
when the patches get applied to linus tree we have the right author.

with the below diff to noextent_mount option patch i get the below history when applying the patches
using stgit via stgit --import --series 


diff --git a/ext4_noextent_mount_opt.patch b/ext4_noextent_mount_opt.patch
index c349afb..e9a8d6f 100644

    Turn on extents feature by default in ext4 filesystem. User could use
    -o noextents to turn it off.
