It's your call of course, but it seems strange to me: say I contributed
20 lines of code some time ago, and in the meantime someone edited it
slightly, splitting it, moving it around, changing indentation... "git
annotate" will say that most of my lines of code "belong" to someone
else, but does that really matter in the context of copyright
assignment? I'd say that I had still contributed those 20 lines of code,
and thus I should sign the assignment paper, shouldn't I?

ciao, lele.
