You can use filter-branch to do it automatically. Something like: export BAD_EMAIL='The Wrong Email in Your Commits' export GOOD_NAME='Your Correct Name' export GOOD_EMAIL='Your Correct Email' git filter-branch --env-filter ' if test "$GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL" = "$BAD_EMAIL"; then GIT_COMMITTER_NAME=$GOOD_NAME GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL=$GOOD_EMAIL fi if test "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL" = "$BAD_EMAIL"; then GIT_AUTHOR_NAME=$GOOD_NAME GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL=$GOOD_EMAIL fi ' which will rewrite just the commits with the problem. Note that this will rewrite the history of those commits. If you've shared the old ones with others, they will see them as entirely new commits instead of replacements. > *) i create a new branch ms_port,and then commit several patches like, > commit 1->commit 2->commit 3->commit 4 > now i just want to change commit2,without change any others,how could > i do it?since i only change the local repository,i think this should > be allowed.

Git doesn't currently support restartable clone. It's something that would be nice to have, but there are some technical issues that make it more difficult than simply starting where we left off (namely that the pack that is being downloaded via the git protocol is generated on the fly). You can find some previous discussions by searching the list for "restartable clone". -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
