The Signed-off-by is not so much for _you_ as for the people who _use_
what you contributed, so that they can always say "but Twiinz signed off
on it, he said that he will not sue my $ss off later, like this Darl
b$stard".
So yes, I do worry.
It is not about him suing us, but more about "He certified that he did not
steal it from anywhere else", iow, other people suing us for what he did.
And we should worry.
In this case it is a very trivial patch.
Yeah, I realized that I should have added that after sending the message.
I'd rather not to see a patch without S-o-b than with a S-o-b with a
phoney name, though.

git-repack: re-enable parsing of -n command line option
In commit 5715d0b (Migrate git-repack.sh to use git-rev-parse --parseopt,
2007-11-04), parsing of the '-n' command line option was accidentally lost
when git-repack.sh was migrated to use git-rev-parse --parseopt. This adds
it back.

;-)
Are we starting to make a submission policy that all contributions
need to have a non-phony looking name for the author line and
SBO? We have not done so in the past, and we do not have the
infrastructure like The Eclipse Foundation has to require all
contributors to execute a (possibly enforceable) legal agreement
stating their contribution can be distributed under the GPLv2.
