I like the sound of this. We've got a few old repos transferred from CVS
where the usernames aren't correct, and it's too much of a trouble to
fix them up now. With this in place, we could script it to run in an
empty repo over-night, fixing that slightly annoying ugliness :)
Perhaps you want to take a look at git-filter-branch? It was written for
exactly the case like you described and is thus more suitable for your
needs.
I made an attempt, but the plethora of options along with the fact that
every commit seemed to get the same author and timestamp made me abandon
the attempt. sed-ing a few patches is simple enough that the concept
won't increase my aspirin bill, while at the same time getting the job
done.
