Now we retry as long as we keep receiving HTTP_REAUTH, so the previous
sequence correctly completes.

Patch by Jeff King [off-list ref]

We usually spell that as:

  From: Jeff King [off-list ref]

at the beginning of the email body (which lets am set the author
appropriately).

Are you saying the first line of the email body? isn't that for the
commit message first-line? I suppose you're not refering to the 'from
field' of the email as I would need alter identities in my email client
and found that cumbersome. Sorry for me not getting it and asking for
clarification.

Yes, that's what I am saying. When Junio applies the patch using "git
am", git will recognize these extra "pseudo-headers" at the top of the
body, remove them from the commit message, and override the email
headers with them.

It does this for exactly this case; you can leave your email headers
intact, but still provide attribution to someone else.
