1 One of the downsides both the git-am and cherry-pick workflows are that
2 they invalidate or otherwise omit commit signatures.

4 git-merge on the other hand does preserve the signature as the original
5 commit is intact, and the merge commit is where the signature of the
6 gentoo developer is introduced.

8 I agree clean history is valuable, but verifiable attribution may in
9 fact be more important.
