No problem.

I think the problem was probably actually a "git commit" time when the
Author field in the commit seems to have been set to "Charlie Root".
"git format-patch" just picks up on that and because it is different to
the sender it includes a From line.

You probably need to add a ~/.gitconfig containing e.g.:
[user]
        name = Ian Campbell
        email = ian.campbell@xxxxxxxxxx
so that "git commit" will pickup the right details and/or avoid
committing stuff as root.

Ian.
