The first one means that. Essentially the S-o-B lines form a chain tracing the flow of patches. The first S-o-B will be the original author. Additional S-o-Bs will be anyone who queued or modified the patch on its way into qemu.git. Each additional one says that they trusted the person they got it from and thus they're asserting compliance with the DCO at each step With regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :|
