Re: Adding Reviewed-by/Tested-by tags to other peoples commits

Color me puzzled.  You said in another mail that you think this is the

Not really.  I said that I think people usually do this in MUA with the
current system.  I did not mean to say that I think such a partition of
jobs between commit and MUA is ideal.

This is a bit tangent, but perhaps rebase needs a hook so that users can 
strip certain tags automatically from the commit log messages (e.g. 
things like Reviewd-by: and Tested-by: become less trustworthy when you 
rebase; S-o-b: becomes somewhat less trustworthy when you "edit" in 
rebase-i; etc).

Maybe.  I am not really convinced of the S-o-b.  You kept stressing that 
the SOB is not about validity, but a statement that the patch is 
intellectually proper or some such (IOW it means something like "Darl, 
forget it").  And the point of origin does not change, even if you rebase 
the commit.

The "somewhat less trustworthy" kicks in when you "edit" in rebase-i if
you change the tree that gets recorded.  You are right that it is
irrelevant if you ran rebase-i to only edit the commit log message.
