Can i not keep using my gmail as my From: ? The advantage of using gmail as my From: is that the discussion and all threads related to my patches will be in the same place even if my work email is changed.
That's fine (I'm doing something similar), just use that as your signoff address then.
And AFAIK, the From: name and the Signed-off-by: name should match else the tools used by Greg and others to generate the stats will break.
I don't understand - what I'm pointing out here is that they do not match?
Now I am confused. :( My From: is Sudip Mukherjee sudipm.mukherjee@gmaill.com and my Signed-off-by: is Sudip Mukherjee sudip.mukherjee@codethink.co.uk
My From name and Signed-off name matches. But my emails donot match.
Which is fine - unless you are submitting patches to Mark 8). I also usually split my email address and GregKH doesn't seem to mind at all.
The other option I suppose would be to put both addresses in the signed off by sequence, but that probably causes confusion
