Yes, it is a result of our workflow and there are many more patches like
that.  In this case, I originally committed the patch on 08-03 and Paolo
rebased the branch on 08-07.

We rebase when testing discovers bugs and for the first few release
candidates (when there are not enough changes to put into next).

Should all rebases be done with the --signoff option?

Thanks.
