I agree, it's a good idea to save them to the config at git svn clone time. When I added --add-author-from I just did it like --use-log-author, then I had to read the source code to find out how to set them as config variables :) I'm sure some patches (at least for the documentation) would be welcomed. > 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.

From: (as part of the commit message) seems to be a git-svn extension that I invented. From: (as a header in the commit message) is interpreted as the committer name by git-am, I think, but you almost never need that.
