Hi Josh,
Git is a blockchain. You cannot change these without redoing history
completely from those points onwards, invalidating *everyone's* repos.
Don't hold your breath for this to happen. Ask Microsoft to fix Devops.

Hi there,
I was hoping someone would help me with the trouble I have
importing/exporting this repo. To setup context I'm trying to import
this repo to Azure Devops where our team will work and then I would
periodically push updates made to the main repo
(https://github.com/LibreOffice/core.git) to my azure devops repo.
The problem I get is that Azure Devops won't allow the import of this
repo due to corrupted commits. The error can be seen below:
|Oops! Your import of https://github.com/LibreOffice/core.git repository
failed due to The commit object 657924e4d73d6d501c9a3ceaf62e29b8f243cead
was rejected: Commit parse failed due to author identity failed to
parse: Andre Fischer<andre.f.fischer <Andre
Fischer<andre.f.fischer@xxxxxxxxxx <mailto:andre.f.fischer@xxxxxxxxxx>>>|
I may add that this is also the case if you try to import to GitHub as
well (I understand you can fork in the case of github). You will also
get this error if you clone locally and try to push to an empty repo
(github or azure devops).
I've done some investigating as best I can and I'm almost certain it's
due to the inconsistent use of angle brackets or spaces. By running
tests locally with fast-export and import I think I've located all the
corrupted authors below:
Andre Fischer<andre.f.fischer <Andre Fischer<andre.f.fischer@xxxxxxxxxx
<mailto:andre.f.fischer@xxxxxxxxxx>>>
Andre Fischer<Andre.W.Fischer <Andre Fischer<Andre.W.Fischer@xxxxxxx>>
Gregor Hartmann<gh <Gregor Hartmann<gh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
<mailto:gh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>>>
Joerg Skottke <Joerg Skottke [jsk] jsk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
<mailto:jsk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>>>
Is there a way we could update these in the main repo so that me and
others wishing to export/import the repo could do so? If so I'm not sure
on the best way to go about it my knowledge of git is not particularly
advanced?
Appreciate you reading into this
Thanks,
Josh
