Hi Jim,

This solution is not acceptable to me.
You not only used "git apply", but also changed the commit message of the original patch,
which explains you were quite diligent, not sloppy.
Please use “git am *Lijun’s.patch”, "git rebase -i HEAD~5" and "git push —-force” to correct this error.
After you do that, other users can update their git repo via “git remote update —prune;” to force a update.
It does not change their commit content but their SHA.

I think the author name changes is a very serious problem.
Almost nobody looks at the changelog of the .spec. 
What people cares is the author name in the commit message.



So I insist change it back to me (Lijun Pan) at the commit message not just add something in the .spec.



Thanks,
Lijun
