## Submitting patches

When sending patches to the project, the submitter is required to certify that
they have the legal right to submit the code. This is achieved by adding a line

Signed-off-by: Real Name <[email protected]>

to the bottom of every commit message. Existance of such a line certifies
that the submitter has complied with the Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1,
(as defined in the file docs/developer-certificate-of-origin).

This line can be automatically added to a commit in the correct format, by
using the '-s' option to 'git commit'.
