I'm answering this separately, because it's a separate rant.
It's also totally bogus, but whatever.

Shawn, stop using whatever drugs you are using.
NOBODY EVER REBASES ANYTHING FOR SIGNED-OFF-BY.
If they do, they are doing things very very wrong.
Signed-off-by: is *purely* for sending patches by email. No git operations involved. None. Nada. Zilch. No rebasing involved, because there's not even a git repository involved, for chissake!
Once something is in git, it's not signed off on - there should be a sign-off-chain from the author to the committer, and that's it. Anything else would be crazy.
So stop the crazy rants. Stop with the bad drugs. Seriously. You're acting crazy.
Linus
