My point is not about standards or name conventions.  It is about
messing with my work, keeping my name on a broken thing as if I've
authored it, and putting it in a public repository with an immutable
history...

It is incorrect, since commit df4fa60 is a broken selected mix of
patches 3 and 4.

I have checked and effectively there is a problem with the patch I have
sent. "git am 0003-..." led to this error:

  ".../mcron/.git/rebase-apply/patch:405: new blank line at EOF."

Nonetheless, instead of pushing in a rush a broken mix of patch 3 and 4.
I would have prefered that you notified this error to me, and proposed
"better" change logs. I would have be happy to send you an updated
patch. (my reference was about that)

Thanks for giving value to it. Even if you have done all the work
yourself, please consider that Mcron being a part of the GNU projet is
not only yours but belong to anyone who is willing to help the cause of
free software by building the GNU system. So it's not suitable in that
context, to talk about "your" project, since I'm contributing
too. Whereas the situation is new, I guess you are legitimate use these
terms for now.

Happy Hacking!
