Hello,

while working with a git-svn repository, I like to use the command line options --use-log-author and --add-author-from for all calls of git svn fetch, git svn rebase, git svn dcommit, ...

Doing so consequently, the commit-ids of each git repository, which has been cloned from the same svn-repository match.

Unfortunately, it is possible to forget these options on the command line. (And 2nd, tortoise-git does not surport it, see https://gitlab.com/tortoisegit/tortoisegit/issues/2824 ).

Therefore I believe, that it would be the best solution to store the settings of --add-author-from, --use-log-author and maybe --authors-prog in the .git/config file.

Greetings
	Juergen
