Re: Help debugging git-svn

Ok.... I came up with another idea to avoid having to deal with the
old svn history (I'm having no problems fetching/dcommitting with my
current repo). I already have the branches I work with, the thing is
that the revisions I fetched before I started using the svn authors
file have nasty IDs instead of human names. I though that I could
create a script to rewrite the whole history of the project adjusting
the usernames to real names (I'll take care of the details, no problem
there... just found out about filter-branch, could work for what I'm
thinking of). My question would be in the direction of rebuilding
git-svn metainfo once I'm done so that I can continue fetching from
svn as if nothing had happened. I checked the documentation in
git-scm.com but didn't find the details about it. Is there a
straight-forward document that explains how the git-svn metadata files
are built?

Thanks in advance.
