Subject: CVS import: Changing/cleaning authors and committers
Message-ID: <1424F1B0-7342-4436-9B4A-72D985DDA161@manchester.ac.uk>

Hi all,

I am very new to git, but already impressed! I am in the process of  
converting my old CVS repos into git. So far so good, it all works  
with 'git cvsimport' but I was wondering about the author and  
committer names. All mine have come out as the username of the person  
who committed the change into CVS:

author xxcguxx <xxcguxx>
committer xxcguxx <xxcguxx>

I was wondering if it would be able to go through and change all that  
to:

author Name <email@address>
etc

Is this something that can be retrospectively done? Is it something  
that can be done during cvsimport? Is it even doable?

Any suggestions gratefully received!

Best wishes,
Rob
