git svn --add-author-from implies --use-log-author

Hi,

when running git svn dcommit --add-author-from on a git-svn repository, --use-log-author is not implied by itself. This causes the rewritten history to not show the author in the way most users would expect it to be, "Name <email@domain.tld>", but instead "<user@uuid>".

Instead of forcing people to write "svn dcommit --add-author-from --use-log-author", is it a bad move to imply the last argument, making the history look more user-friendly to start with?

Any thoughts?
