If you mean that you would like someone to pick up the patch and try and get it though then I don't mind helping. Of course if the original authors are wanting to finish, then I will look for something else. For my education, how does this affect the sign-off proceedure? sps ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2016-01-05 03:36 Subject: Re: What's cooking in git.git (Jan 2016, #01; Mon, 4) Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/xmqqy4c4k89m.fsf%40gitster.mtv.corp.google.com In-Reply-To: <1718717.tR0GOgDc0N@thunderbird> ``` Stephen & Linda Smith writes: > On Monday, January 04, 2016 03:44:33 PM Junio C Hamano wrote: >> Becoming tired of waiting for a reroll. >> ($gmane/271213). >> Anybody wants to help rerolling this?

I do not mind if these topics disappeared, either, but we have spent review and discussion bandwidth for these unfinished topics and we may want to take them to the completion. > For my education, how does this affect the sign-off proceedure? Depending on the extent of changes from the original version, either you take the authorship (with comment in the log message saying that it is based on Such and Such's patches) or you still keep them as the author (with comment in the log message saying that you extended it in such and such way). In either case, as long as their original remains in the resulting patch, you retain their Sign-off and then add your Sign-off at the end. If you take the ideas from their series and rewrite everything from scratch, you would take the authorship, with comment in the log message saying that you took inspiration from Such and Such's patches, and have only your Sign-off. ``` ## Stephen & Linda Smith, 2016-01-05 04:32 Subject: Re: What's cooking in git.git (Jan 2016, #01; Mon, 4) Message-ID: <3613836.VnYUjhoksq@thunderbird> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/3613836.VnYUjhoksq%40thunderbird In-Reply-To: <1718717.tR0GOgDc0N@thunderbird> ``` On Monday, January 04, 2016 07:36:05 PM Junio C Hamano wrote: > Stephen & Linda Smith writes: > > > On Monday, January 04, 2016 03:44:33 PM Junio C Hamano wrote: > >> Becoming tired of waiting for a reroll. > >> ($gmane/271213). > >> Anybody wants to help rerolling this?

I started work on both of this this evening. Since I do not have the original emails I don't have the Message ID's which would make it to use with the git send-email command. Do either of you have the message ID's? ``` ## Stephen & Linda Smith, 2016-01-07 03:59 Subject: Re: Picking up old threads/patches Message-ID: <3039057.pHpnyVLACL@thunderbird> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/3039057.pHpnyVLACL%40thunderbird In-Reply-To: <2143067.ZpDECoHz1r@thunderbird> ``` > If Will isn't interested in finishing these two patches I will pick them > up [ ($gmane/271213), ($gmane/272180) ] > > After that I will check look at some of the others for which you've > asked for help.

If it's an ancient thread, it's not a big deal to just start a new thread (especially if you reference the old one in the text so people can dig it up if they really care). But for reference, you can add `/raw` to the end of a gmane article URL to get all the headers. E.g.: $ gmane=http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git $ curl -s $gmane/271213/raw | grep -i ^message-id: Message-ID: -Peff ``` ## Stephen & Linda Smith, 2016-01-07 13:29 Subject: Re: Picking up old threads/patches Message-ID: <2745760.1oOIncE5MG@thunderbird> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/2745760.1oOIncE5MG%40thunderbird In-Reply-To: <3039057.pHpnyVLACL@thunderbird> ``` On Thursday, January 07, 2016 03:03:50 AM Jeff King wrote: > If it's an ancient thread, it's not a big deal to just start a new > thread (especially if you reference the old one in the text so people > can dig it up if they really care). > > But for reference, you can add `/raw` to the end of a gmane article URL > to get all the headers.
