Recently converted a large (11,000+ revisions) repository. We authenticate against the NT domain controller, so all our revision authors are of the form "domain\user". (You can switch off mod_sspi reporting the domain part, but I didn't know about this at the time, so it continues for historical reasons.) git-svn treats the literal backslashes in the author names as escapes. This leads to authors like domainkevin domain\ ichard I know, I should have read the manual and used my "authors" file. Bah. I'm sure that part of the revision hash in git includes the author name... so I guess I'm looking at another multi-day conversion. :-( Can I suggest that you make the authors file compulsory by default as well? - 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
