Hmm. I hoped that my commit message was enough to indicate that while he

Junio?
I think the log message gives a clear enough statement to credit the
original author.  Sign-off is not about credit, but is about making
sure we know the provenance of the contribution we would use in our
codebase, so it would be nice to have, but lifting code from another
project (i.e. TRast's tbdiff) that is appropriately licensed (GPLv2)
verbatim is something you can do with your own sign-off, without the
original author's sign-off, so I think what we have is good.
