From: Adam Dinwoodie Date: Mon, 05 Jun 2017 10:53:41 GMT Subject: [PATCH] docs: suggest "Helped-by" rather than "Thanks-to" Message-ID: <20170605105341.35096-1-adam@dinwoodie.org> The SubmittingPatches doc suggests adding "tags" in the style of "Signed-off-by" to commit messages, and suggests some in common usage. However, based on usage on the Git mailing list (and in particular, Junio C Hamano's email to René Genz on 23 April), the suggested "Thanks-to" is not common usage, and should instead be "Helped-by".
