I believe I left his signed off by from the original (first) patch, and added mine to indicate that what I had modified was also unecombered. The second patch is only signed off by me as I am the author. In my world (admittedly a kernel hacker) the first Signed-off-by: indicates the primary authorship of that patch and the [apw@...] part tries to clarify the changes I made therein.

No intentional stripping of credit was intended, and I believe that the attribution as written states Junio is the originator of this patch. However that is the way I would read the meanings of these lines, if git has different rules or you think there is a clearer way of stating this I am happy to change it, and resend it so attributed.
