Markus Armbruster also has a one-line deletion (although how can a line no longer present in the file be holding up a copyright question?). It depends on whether you use 'git blame' to track all contributors to the current state of the file, or 'git log' to track all authors to any changes to the file. 'git blame' may also come in handy if you only need to copy a subset of the file. --=20 Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --gf4UXJW4DXMimX9dMBgCeir5ruReVKfNf Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJYRuY0AAoJEKeha0olJ0NqRHoH/ii9J4vE2IHbjjDZDxvS+M1M HKw/PYRJNeWLltUTienVV99PSyNQhApg521/TV57mCiUJhDTSiE3xZnz+Xym6n+U ozrgUKDt61TfUwPxFY+NgWGhnkGZAtAKVySLj6KnOgcFc6oqDJcSqgjYEQvdX+vw S29CARHI9s3ZxmxF2xn/w/9G8dxTpJ4fQmMUdQR4eB+XdcJ/xqg+VFNdqrozdi9R 5jRd/6iBxNCe7VSkKy6Nl82417GN6ClCIGFKNTXCYhuhx/Sez0+vW936RGE7gq1Q IyBFQT4kfGcviGkSkKB08GGgFKSbmN1KeXk93s0RhXh80xjdj37utdrSDuJMaWE= =OTRE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --gf4UXJW4DXMimX9dMBgCeir5ruReVKfNf--
