If the "from" line is missing, then the "From:" line from the email header will be used to determine the patch author in the changelog. I think you are using git format-patch to generate those patches, please su= pply --author=3D to git commit when you commit them to your local tree. (or git am if the patches you received already had the correct From: line.) Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
