Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/bin/git-svn line 2953. Author: not defined in .git/info/svn-authors file 512 at /usr/bin/git-svn line 457 main::fetch_lib() called at /usr/bin/git-svn line 328 main::fetch() called at /usr/bin/git-svn line 187 my svn-authors file looks like this: ---->8----------------- username = Real Name ---->8----------------- It is placed in .git/info/svn-authors and is configured via svn.authorsfile. I tried to dig in the code and it says at line 2952 if there is an $_author variable defined and no $users{$author}, then die with that message... above function load_authors i have found # ' = real-name ' mapping based on git-svnimport: now i am a bit confused, because the manual says, the svn-authors file looks like my file above and here it sounds like = real-name is the real syntax for that file... If i ommit the -A or --authors-file= parameter (or unset the svn.authorsfile config-parameter) while git-svn fetch, afterwards in gitk --all, there is only the svn-username and the revision-uuid. Am i doing something wrong? Sincerly
