Just to make it more clear: I think it is not a problem to pick up some old
patch from someone else when the original author has no problem with it. But
taking a patch from someone else and then without any additional information
claiming to be the author is a rather bad move.

It is even worse that the informative commit subject + message was dropped.
There is also no information what you've changed before your signed-off-by
(which is also missing).

Btw. here is the original patch and the discussion
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.org.freifunk.batman/10503

Kind regards,
Sven
