Fast-forward mergesFast-forward mergesPosted Feb 13, 2009 1:55 UTC (Fri) by junkio (subscriber, #5743)In reply to: Fast-forward merges by corbet Parent article: How patches get into the mainline
True, but you can probably notice the committer information is different between the parent commit and the child commit. Linus publishes his tip, David S Miller builds on top and gives Linus a pull request, and Linus fast-forwards. Then these commits brought in to Linus's repository via Dave's repository will record Dave as the committer, not Linus.
