Re: More builtin git-am issues..

That said, the original "git am" rules actually seem to be rather
straightforward: it's never an issue about "last block of text", and
it's simply an issue of "is there a sign-ff _anywhere_ in the text".

That simplicity has a certain appeal to me. I don't think it was
necessarily written that way because it was "well designed" - I
suspect it is more an issue of "easy to implement in a shell-script".

Guilty as pointed out.

Four out of 119 emails may not be a big percentage, but it does mean
that it's not horribly unusual either..

Sure.  Thanks for these examples.  I was aware that people do
strange things with the footer, but with the first example of [akpm]
comment at the very beginning alone, I wouldn't have guessed why
intermixing one-liner comments directly in the chain of
Signed-of-by: lines made any sense.  Call it lack of imagination,
but each sign-off optionally prefixed by a single-liner summary of
what change was done makes sense why people do want to use these
lines that way.
