The only problem I see with this approach is that lots of uses of GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT require regex'ing the output to remove the date (see git-am, old git-commit and git-tag...) Maybe adding another variable not containing the date would be a good idea? contrib/fast-import/import-tars.perl | 9 +++++---- 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/contrib/fast-import/import-tars.perl b/contrib/fast-import/import-tars.perl index 23aeb25..814fb73 100755 --- a/contrib/fast-import/import-tars.perl +++ b/contrib/fast-import/import-tars.perl @@ -14,8 +14,9 @@ die "usage: import-tars *.tar.{gz,bz2,Z}\n" unless @ARGV; my $branch_name = 'import-tars'; my $branch_ref = "refs/heads/$branch_name"; -my $committer_name = 'T Ar Creator'; -my $committer_email = 'tar@xxxxxxxxxxx'; +chomp(my $committer_ident = `git var GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT`); +die 'You need to set user name and email' + unless ($committer_ident =~ s/(.+ <[^>]+>).*/\1/); open(FI, '|-', 'git', 'fast-import', '--quiet') or die "Unable to start git fast-import: $!\n"; @@ -100,7 +101,7 @@ foreach my $tar_file (@ARGV) print FI <<EOF; commit $branch_ref -committer $committer_name <$committer_email> $commit_time +0000 +committer $committer_ident $commit_time +0000 data <<END_OF_COMMIT_MESSAGE Imported from $tar_file.
