Research direction

Reproduce the problem with git-pw patch download 982444 and compare the downloaded mbox with the linked example. Trace the patch-download path to find where repeated tags are de-duplicated. Done means every original Signed-off-by line is preserved, with a regression test covering duplicate tags.

Description

bug

If a comment duplicates tags like Signed-off-by, these are de-duplicated when downloading the mbox. For example

ovs-vsctl set open_vswitch . other_config:pmd-auto-lb-min-improvement="5"
ovs-vsctl set open_vswitch . other_config:pmd-auto-lb-drop-check="true"
