Check it out in action here: https://github.com/jgunthorpe/rdma-plumbing/blame/master/libibumad/src/umad.c The blame is going back through the entire available git history. Note that git has all sorts of weirdness with rename handling so this doesn't always work so well.. eg github's single file history doesn't work, but 'git log --follow' mostly does. > > Steve suggests that iwpm be included as well, which makes sense.. > > > > My hope is that Doug will step up as the unified maintainer, with a process > > similar to the kernel.

I think Doug and Leon are working that out somewhere in this thread. There is a range of options projects tend to use: - Send a patch, ack other peoples patches - Send a pull request - Have a 'commit bit' and push directly to the master repo umad changes so little that the first is probably the least work option for you.
