Kuhn" To: git@vger.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 0/1] Clarify and expand description of --signoff Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2020 14:59:32 -0700 Message-Id: <20201015215933.96425-1-bkuhn@sfconservancy.org> X-Mailer: git-send-email 2.27.0 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Precedence: bulk List-ID: X-Mailing-List: git@vger.kernel.org As you know, it's rare that Conservancy offers specific patches upstream to our member projects, but I've attached a patch that updates the documentation regarding Signed-Off-By. While the Git and Linux projects use this specifically to refer to a DCO as published on the URL provided, other projects have various meanings of Signed-Off-By, and we noticed in a recent check of Conservancy member projects that details on it vary. Ultimately, I don't think Git wants anyway to opine about the meaning of Signed-off-by for every project that uses Git, so this documentation change hedges while still explaning and recommending the DCO used by Linux and Git. Peff gave me some feedback on this change and we did a bit of redrafting in a private email thread, but I think this is now ready for public review and discussion. I apologize in advance if I've made a mistake in format or form in submitting this patch; it's my first upstream contribution to Git! I did try my best to follow Documentation/MyFirstContribution.txt carefully! :) Bradley M.
