I can't reproduce your problem: git init repo && cd repo && echo content >file && git add file && git commit -m base && echo changes >>file && git commit --author='Other Person <other@xxxxxxxxxxx>' -a -m other && git tag other && git reset --hard HEAD^ && git cherry-pick other gives this output for the cherry-pick: [master 6eb207f] other Author: Other Person <other@xxxxxxxxxxx> 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) and the resulting commit looks good: $ git log -1 --format='%an <%ae>' Other Person <other@xxxxxxxxxxx> Does the script above work for you? If so, then what is different about your problematic case? -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
