Hrm, how did the Author get mangled?


I remember it having a conflict when I tried to merge it (someone else had changed the same area of the header file). So I used patch -p1 and fixed up the reject by hand. I wonder if I screwed up and used git commit -a instead of git am --resolved?   That is 2 things I should have caught on final review I missed.  :-(

Now to wait for everything else I screwed up...
