Anyway I had a first pass conversation with Andrew and it looks like he will start addressing the problem patches there. So things should be resolvable.

The final piece on my agenda for getting the proper authors from the -mm tree is coping with Andrew's git patches. They have enough information to determine the Author but they are really several different patches. Ideally I will be able recognize they are performing a pull from a git repository and get the same results.

Otherwise some other trick will be necessary.
