Technically when a maintainer moves a patch from another project,
they should add their Signed-off-by: tag.  Add an option to
libxfs-apply to make that easy when cross-porting libxfs
patches.

I wonder, under what circumstances does the user /not/ want to have
their S-o-b added to the commit?  It seems to me that this ought to be
the default, since the $maintainer is importing code from another
libxfs, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem all that different from
pulling in regular patches from the mailing list or wherever.

Second, can we just pull the name and email from the output of git
config --get user.{name,email} unless the user explicitly provided a sob
line?

Third, we could detect that the patch already has the particular S-o-b
that we'd be adding here, and avoid adding a duplicate.

yes that's a good idea :)

hm.  well, I /always/ add mine at the end when I merge it.  So even if
it's like this in the kernel:

Signed-off-by: Bob
Reviewed-by: Alice

if Bob commits it to userspace, I'd still suggest that 
we should end up with:

Signed-off-by: Bob
Reviewed-by: Alice
Signed-off-by: Bob

because it got moved again...
