Git actually has native support for this workflow. Each commit has an "author" and a "committer" which are typically the same, but in the case of a squash merge or patch are different. For example, http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commit;h=72c04af9a2d57b7945cf3de8e71461bd80695d50 Best, Alex Ogier -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
