With this commit, the correct method to use git fixline to indicate a fix of a previous commit has changed. The new rules require the author of the original code that is being fixed to be on CC. The logic behind this improvement is that if there is a genuine bug, one of the ideal people to review is the author of the original code being fixed. Adding them on Cc makes them aware of the patch, avoiding it from being passed by accidentally while reading the mailing-list. Given that the original author (now on Cc:) might not actually review, there is no value in keeping the Cc: in git commit history. If the original author performs a review, their Reviewed-by: or Acked-by: is stored in git history (same as now).
