Hi all,

If i use git-commit --author "A U Thor <author.example.net>" -s it
still uses my global author.name and author.email to add signoff
message.

Is this expected behavior?


thanks
BAIN

Never mind...

Looking at the code i found out commiter name/email is used to
signoff, which is correct and can be different than author.

Actually we _do mind_.  The users should not have to look at the code to
find this out.

Send in a patch to clarify this in the documentation if it is not already
done, please.
