You can set config options for these, however:
git config svn.addAuthorFrom true
git config svn.useLogAuthor true

they apply to all my git-svn repositories.)
Oh great. This is what I actually wanted. Makes a lot more sense to have
them as (global) variables.
My initial thought was that there are (somewhere) some variables being
set for the repository by using --add-author-from and --use-log-author
with "git svn clone ...". I find this quite intuitive (and maybe this
should be default?). I can't see a reason for using these options once
and not using them later, but it might just be me.
P.S. I am very curious why using From and not Signed-off-by. I had the
feeling that Signed-off-by is being used to also mark the path of a patch.
Also, is there a centralized list of all the ways a patch can be "marked"
Signed-off-by is a legal declaration. Please read the documentation
carefully before using it.
From: is automatically added (when you enable the option and there's
no Signed-off-by or From already) and is just informational.
I have found that Documentation/SubmittingPatches contains info on how
to use "Signed-off-by:"/"Acked-by:"/a little bit of "From:" but, as far
as I remember, others have been/are used. Are they all gathered
somewhere, as recommendations?
Many thanks.
