Hello Niranjan,
Could you fix your mail configuration so that your From is:
Niranjan Reddy <niranjan.reddy@rockwellcollins.com>
Indeed, the From: field gets used as the Git author.

I don't understand, I had a look at this Debian tarball, and couldn't
spot the fix. Also below, you're signing off the patch, which seems to
indicate your are the author of it.
Could you clarify ?

Please use Niranjan Reddy and not niranjan.reddy.
Thanks,
Thomas

Hello Thomas,
Thanks for your inputs . I'll change my mail configuration as :
Niranjan Reddy <niranjan.reddy@rockwellcollins.com> .
You can find the patch in the debain/patches folder with file name "poll".
Anton Kortunov <toshic.toshic@gmail.com> is the author of the patch and
i'll change it .
Thanks,
Niranjan Reddy.
