Note that even this workflow isn't required for git. Most projects will
happily accept patchsets sent to the -devel list using "git send-email
<commit-id>" which bundles up each commit in a specially formatted email
that can be applied by a committer locally using "git am" and then
pushed to the upstream repository. The record of the original committer
is handled via SoB tags or within the commit message as appropriate.


ATB,
