Since it was his work, we\nattempted to commit it using his username, though it was done in a git\nrepository that I'd previously used with my username.  So I did:\n\ngit-svn dcommit --username <name>\n\nBut it ignored --username and the commit is now attributed to me.\nIs it because I'd previously done dcommit in my own username?\nThere was no warning that it wouldn't do what I expected.\n\nAdmittedly it's was a weird thing to have him make a change in my\nlocal repository but we didn't think it would be a problem if we\ncarefully used --username.\n\nthanks,\nSteve\n"}]}
