Then properly send the patch so that this is shown.  Please just add a:

From: foo <foo at foo.org>

as the first line of the patch changelog portion and git will fix things
up correctly.  Documentation/SubmittingPatches describes this in detail.

Care to resend your updated version, with this corrected author
information, so I get it right?

thanks,

greg k-h
