The main question was answered by Ben, so this may be a bit offtopic, but I'll answer git questions anyway. The author-name-email, subject, and author-date are taken from the RFC2822 headers of the e-mail the committer feeds git-am, but you can override them by having "From: ", "Subject: ", and "Date: " as the first lines of the message body, like this: From: "For W. Arder" Date: Wed, 21 Jun 2006 11:49:22 +0200 Subject: forwarding patch (was Re: ieee1394) Message-ID: ... From: Stefan Richter Date: Mon Jun 12 18:16:25 2006 -0400 Subject: eth1394: replace __constant_htons by htons ...and __constant_ntohs, __constant_ntohl, __constant_cpu_to_be32 too where possible. Htons and friends are resolved to constants in these places anyway. Also fix an endianess glitch in a log message, spotted by Alexey Dobriyan. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter Note that the latter three header-looking lines are not RFC2822 headers but part of your (eh, Mr Arder's) message body.
