CVS import: Changing/cleaning authors and committers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

I am very new to git, but already impressed! I am in the process of converting my old CVS repos into git. So far so good, it all works with 'git cvsimport' but I was wondering about the author and committer names. All mine have come out as the username of the person who committed the change into CVS:

author xxcguxx <xxcguxx>
committer xxcguxx <xxcguxx>

I was wondering if it would be able to go through and change all that to:

author Name <email@address>
etc

Is this something that can be retrospectively done? Is it something that can be done during cvsimport? Is it even doable?

Any suggestions gratefully received!

Best wishes,
Rob
