It sure does, I use git-svn for a project hosted on Google Code, and
the e-mail addresses are totally borked (e.g., "gmail-account-id"
<gmail-account-id@the-svn-repo-uuid>). Not only that, but some
developers (including me I must admit) have a rather obscure
gmail-account-id, which is uses as the user's name for the commit
message. It would be very nice if I could provide a mapping from
"borked svn id's" to "normal, sensible e-mail addresses, including
real names", a feature which this series seems to add :).
