Peff,

The tentative patch included in the following [REQUEST 1/1] message includes so much of your suggested text from:

> 
>    1. Protocol (e.g., `https` in `https://example.com/`). This field
>       must match exactly between the config key and the URL.
> 
>    2. Host/domain name (e.g., `example.com` in `https://example.com/`).
>       This field must match exactly between the config key and the URL.
> 
>    3. Path (e.g., `repo.git` in `https://example.com/repo.git`). This
>       field is prefix-matched by slash-delimited path elements, so that
>       config key `foo/` matches URL `foo/bar`. Longer matches take
>       precedence (so `foo/bar`, if it exists, is a better match than
>       just `foo/`).
> 
>    4. Username (e.g., `user` in `https://user@example.com/repo.git`).
> 
>  The list above is ordered by decreasing precedence; a URL that matches
>  a config key's path is preferred to one that matches its username.

that I do not feel comfortable submitting a patch containing it under my name without your 'Signed-off-by:' as I feel it would be a copyright violation to do otherwise. Since the 'Signed-off-by' mechanism is how the Git project handles this, I'm asking for a reply to the following [REQUEST 1/1] message that includes the full patch text with a 'Signed-off-by' line added from you before I include it in any patch series (after which I will add my own 'Signed-off-by' for the other changes I made).

If you would prefer to simply submit your own patch with the changes, I have no objection and will simply refer to that as a required patch instead.

Thanks,

Kyle
