Hmm, it looks like --use-log-author really affects git-svn fetch, not commit: in other words, it pulls the signed-off-by information from the svn repo when importing the commits back into git. This is actually the clue I needed, which I think is: use signed-off-by lines in the first place, because that will solve my problem of tracking who wrote each patch :) Have fun, Avery -- 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
