Another option is to give no authors, but then the SVN\nauthor names will be used (with email 'unknown' or something).\n\n\n-- \nRutger Nijlunsing ---------------------------------- eludias ed dse.nl\nnever attribute to a conspiracy which can be explained by incompetence\n----------------------------------------------------------------------\n"},{"id":"18717","messageId":"20060415215850.GB20468@hand.yhbt.net","threadId":"3870","inReplyTo":"m21wvzx5e6.fsf@ziti.fhcrc.org","subject":"Re: git-svn and Author files question","fromName":"Eric Wong","fromEmail":"normalperson@yhbt.net","sentAt":"2006-04-15T21:58:50Z","receivedAt":"2006-04-15T21:58:50Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"e@80x24.org","avatar":null},"body":"Seth Falcon wrote:\n> Hi all,\n> \n> I've been using git to manually track changes to a project that uses\n> svn as its primary SCM.\n> \n> git-svn looks like it can help me streamline my workflow, but I'm\n> getting stuck with the following:\n> \n> mkdir foo\n> cd foo\n> git-svn init $URL <--- the svn URL\n> git-svn fetch\n> Author: dfcimm3 not defined in file\n> \n> :-(\n> \n> Can someone point me to the file and the place that describes what I\n> should put in it?

Is there a way around\nthis? Or perhaps a way to force a bogus email address based on svn\nuser name?\n\n[ok, maybe I'm less confused than I'm letting on: the email\nrequirement is, I think, because that's what suits the main git\n\"customers\". If I was using git for a project's primary SCM, I would\nhave no problem with this. In fact, we started using email addresses\nas user names in svn a long time ago. \n\nBut it seems to me that (1) using git to track a project that uses a\nless featureful SCM is way cool, and (2) having to manually muck with\nan authors file is kinda uncool.]\n\n> Sorry about so long to reply to questions this week, left hand/wrist is\n> wrecked.\n\nHope it heals quickly!\n\n\nThanks for listening and again for the help,\n\n+ seth\n"},{"id":"18723","messageId":"7vzmimcl9d.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net","threadId":"3870","inReplyTo":"m2ejzys2ns.fsf@ziti.fhcrc.org","subject":"Re: git-svn and Author files question","fromName":"Junio C Hamano","fromEmail":"junkio@cox.net","sentAt":"2006-04-16T02:22:22Z","receivedAt":"2006-04-16T02:22:22Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"gitster@pobox.com","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/54884?v=4"},"body":"Seth Falcon writes:\n\n> I'm a bit confused about why I have to do this.
