In http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2008-June/056508.html Peter Urbanec sent a patch I like, that adds timing information to the log. It has been critized for having the wrong indentation style. As I would like to give that patch a second chance, I reindented the code to match the surrounding code.
The question I have: How to give credit? The standard "based on a patch from" clause seems to weak to me, as it is aside from whitespace changes exactly that patch. But as I did these whitespace changes, it also seems wrong to just put Peter Urbanec into the From line. He did never submit in that form. I would be happy about any advice.
The indentation-fixed patch is included, although the first two lines are munged to prevent the patch to get away with the "forged" attribution.
The accepted way is to include a "From: " line in the body of your email message stating the original author of the patch.
