Should I have > replaced this with Acked-by? Sorry, I usually sign-off when I sent to the list. But: Signed-off-by: Jeff King for this and the other patch in this series. As for whether you can sign-off, I think it is OK in this case. You are basically signing off on the "Certificate of Origin" found in SubmittingPatches. I think you are covered under (b), which is that to the best of your knowledge it is based on open source work (i.e., even though I didn't sign off explicitly, it is pretty obvious that this is meant to be open source). But it's nicer to be explicit. -Peff
