However, examining git-svn, there seems to be an undocumented option. You can do this: git svn dcommit --use-log-author That uses the Signed-off-by: field in the commit message to extract the author information. Of course it won't rescue the author field on old commits, and you have to have Signed-off-by on any new ones to gain any benefit. regards, Richard -- 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
