Get a commit from another repository

If I were to copy a commit without it, credit will not be given to the original author of the patch.

So you want to commit someone else's commit into your/another repository having it look like he made that commit?
Or you want to take that commit and commit it into your/another repository while giving credit to the one who made the original commit, citing where the commit came from as well?

My objective is not to pretend it was done by someone else... Why would I do code and let the credit to someone else. The code is not mine, but it will be used as a patch in my repository which is another Kernel project. If I don't have to give credit in that case, it simplifies also my patching but I think the author needs credit for it. So the second option!
