By the way, what is the correct way to send a patch based on other's work ?
If I believe Documentation/SubmittingPatches, only the sender should
add his S-o-b.
But if you want to give credit to the original author(s), what's the best way ?
IMHO, I would CC them, let them add their
s-o-b/ack-b/nack-b/whatever-b if they want, and maybe add something
like that in the file header :
/*
 * based on the original work of ...
 */
Or in the commit message itself
Is that right ?
