cf. Documentation/SubmittingPatches::[real-name], a part of the DCO section of the document.

A new feature should be protected by new tests to make sure it will not be broken accidentally by others. Probably a couple of new tests to both t4300 and t4301?

$ git shortlog -sn --no-merges --since=6.months builtin/merge-tree.c t/t430[01]*.sh

tells me that Elijah and Ævar had been active, but by looking at the output of

$ git log --author=Ævar --since=6.months builtin/merge-tree.c t/t430[01]*.sh

shows that the contribution by the latter was solely about code clean-up with Coccinelle and not about code features and correctness, so for a new-feature change like this, I'd ask comments by Elijah if I were writing this patch.

Thanks.
